Liaoning Tieren FC•AttackerLiaoning Tieren FC delivered a commanding performance to secure a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, with the result sealed by a dramatic finale involving a red card and penalty. Guy Mbenza opened the scoring in the 23rd minute to give the hosts an early advantage, before tensions boiled over just before halftime with yellow cards for time-wasting and arguments between players. Ange Samuel doubled the lead in the 77th minute to put the game beyond doubt, but the most decisive moment came in stoppage time when Xianjun Wang was sent off for a professional foul as the last man, allowing Takahiro Kunimoto to convert the resulting penalty. This victory will be crucial for Liaoning's league campaign, while Tianjin face mounting pressure after another disappointing result that saw them fail to create meaningful chances throughout the 90 minutes.
