Qingdao West Coast FC and Yunnan Yukun played out a goalless draw, but the scoreline belied a match rich in statistical intrigue. Qingdao's inability to convert their 8 corner kicks into goals highlighted a lack of incisiveness in set-piece situations, undermining their attacking efforts. Yunnan, with 9 corners, fared no better in capitalizing on dead-ball opportunities but was marginally more dangerous, often exerting pressure in the home team's penalty area.

A notable aspect of Yunnan's play was their discipline in avoiding the offside trap, with zero offsides reflecting well-coordinated attacking strategies. In contrast, Qingdao's 3 offsides were indicative of mistimed runs and a lack of synchronization in their offensive build-ups. This lack of offensive cohesion was mirrored in Qingdao's significant share of possession but a visible struggle to penetrate Yunnan's defense.

Both teams saw yellow, with Qingdao earning two cautionary cards to Yunnan's one. Discrepancies in discipline didn't seem to overtly affect the flow, but Qingdao's accumulation of cards may have contributed to a more cautious approach from their players post-warnings. Yunnan's cleaner play in this respect could hint at a slightly better game management strategy, though ultimately neither side found the breakthrough to capitalize on these subtle nuances.
