The game was played at the iconic Sports Stadium in Shenzhen, where the atmosphere was electric with anticipation. Both teams were evenly matched throughout the first half, but it was Sanzhen's relentless defense and strategic play that eventually paid off. Their goalkeeper, Liang Qian, made several crucial saves to keep Zhejiang at bay, while their midfielders were consistently creating chances.
In the second half, Sanzhen took control of the game. They capitalized on several opportunities created by their attacking players, including a goal from Zhang Hongwei and a penalty kick scored by Wang Hui. These goals gave Sanzhen a commanding lead over Zhejiang, who struggled to find their rhythm.
