In a tightly contested match, Zhejiang Professional FC and Dalian Young Boy FC shared the spoils with a 1-1 draw. Zhejiang struck early, capitalizing on defensive frailties with a goal in the 9th minute. This early strike put pressure on Dalian, but they adapted well, managing to neutralize further threats. Both teams demonstrated disciplined defensive formations, reflected by a total of just nine fouls over the entire match, indicating a balanced and strategic approach rather than aggressive gameplay.

The performance of Dalian Young Boy FC in the second half was commendable, adjusting their strategy to find an equalizer in the 58th minute. Their composure paid off, highlighted by their seven corner kicks, providing several opportunities for an aerial threat. Despite their disciplined attacking opportunities, they struggled with discipline otherwise. Accruing three yellow cards, particularly in the closing stages, could have easily escalated to more severe consequences. However, they managed to maintain equilibrium, preventing a late-match collapse.

Zhejiang's tactical approach, primarily based on maintaining possession and quick offensives, earned them an early advantage. However, their inability to extend the lead underlines their challenge in maintaining intensity and creativity against a determined Dalian defense. Despite having fewer corner kicks (five), Zhejiang was effective in reducing their offsides to just two, showcasing better timing in penetrative passes. The team’s cohesion and structure were generally sound, but their lack of decisiveness in the final third ultimately saw them miss the chance to claim all three points.
