Outstanding performance
Tianjin Jinmen Tiger•AttackerTianjin Jinmen Tiger produced a masterclass in efficiency, scoring with two of their limited opportunities while Zhejiang dominated the ball but squandered a host of big chances. Bruno Xadas gave the hosts an early lead inside six minutes, only for Alexandru Mitrita to level right on the stroke of halftime with a fine strike from outside the box. Despite Zhejiang controlling 70% of possession and racking up 54 dangerous attacks to Tianjin's 19, it was substitute Shengpan Ji who settled the contest, netting the winner just 13 minutes after coming on. The result is a significant statement for Tianjin, who absorbed heavy pressure - Zhejiang had five more shots and four times the dangerous attacks - yet made their quality count in front of goal, converting seven shots on target into two goals while Zhejiang's five yielded only one.
