Guangzhou Evergrande wasn’t about to back down though, and eventually managed to pull level in the second half, at the 67th minute, bringing the score to a tense 2-2.
However, Nanjing City FC ultimately took the game by storm, scoring yet another goal at the 81st minute, to make it 3-2. Despite some close chances from Guangzhou Evergrande, they were unable to match Nanjing City's energy and tact, leaving the latter to claim the hard-fought win.

In conclusion, this game was a demonstration of Nanjing City FC's mental strength and skill.
