Outstanding performance
Yunnan Yukun•DefenderHenan Songshan Longmen secured a crucial 2-1 victory over Yunnan Yukun in a match that showcased the fine margins at this level of football. Jordi Mboula's opener on the half-hour mark gave the hosts early control, but Oscar Taty Maritu's response five minutes into the second half looked to have earned Yunnan a valuable point. The decisive moment came through unfortunate circumstances as Cléber's own goal in the 69th minute handed Henan all three points. This result provides vital breathing space for Henan in their fight for league stability, while Yunnan will rue missed opportunities to claim something from a game they had fought back into.
How entertaining was this match?
