In a tightly contested League One matchup, Guangdong GZ-Power FC edged out Shijiazhuang Gongfu FC with a 2-1 victory. The home team seized an early lead with a goal in the first half, showcasing their ability to capitalize on quick offensive plays. However, Guangdong's comeback was marked by disciplined tactics and efficient use of set pieces, as evidenced by their higher corner count with seven compared to Shijiazhuang’s two. This difference in set piece opportunities may have been crucial in maintaining pressure and creating scoring chances.

Shijiazhuang Gongfu FC struggled to maintain their initial momentum, particularly as the match transitioned into the second half. Their defensive organization lacked the resilience needed to contain Guangdong's persistent attacks, allowing the away team to score twice after halftime. Guangdong GZ-Power FC’s equalizing goal early in the second half and eventual match-winner at 78 minutes emphasized their effective tactical adjustments and superior execution in crucial moments.

Both teams displayed a measure of indiscipline, with three yellow cards distributed between them. Shijiazhuang Gongfu FC, however, seemed more prone to fouls, reflected in their two yellow cards, which potentially disrupted their rhythm and defensive solidity. Although offsides were relatively balanced, with Guangdong caught offside twice in the match, their ability to navigate through Shijiazhuang's defensive line without conceding a red card was pivotal in maintaining their assertive play. Guangdong's teamwork and strategic edge, particularly in set pieces and pressing higher up the pitch, were instrumental in clinching this tough win.
