In a thrilling Super League contest on 24 August 2025, Shandong Taishan FC narrowly edged Qingdao West Coast FC 3-2. Shandong began with a powerful start, scoring the opening goal just over seven minutes into the first half, displaying their attacking intent. They expanded their lead early in the second half, which further highlighted their ability to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

Qingdao West Coast FC displayed resilience by pulling one back shortly after Shandong’s second goal. Nevertheless, Shandong’s swift response with a third goal showed a strategic presence in exploiting defensive lapses. Qingdao’s determination was evident as they managed to score again, but needless errors and ineffective use of corner kicks, having only two compared to Shandong’s four, limited their ability to press further.

A disciplined Shandong lineup incurred only one yellow card, signifying strong strategic control and focus within their ranks. In contrast, the absence of any yellow cards for Qingdao highlights their disciplined approach; however, their lack of incisive play was unable to match Shandong’s offensive potency. Offside calls were minimal for both sides, indicating organized attacking strategies. Ultimately, Shandong’s superior finishing and tactical substitution managed to fend off Qingdao's late-game push, underscoring teamwork and performance as pivotal facets of their victory.
