Jinan, China – In a match held at the Jinan Olympic Sports Center, Shandong Luneng secured a victory that reflected their dominance of the game, although the ending was tighter than expected.

Despite the efforts of Wuhan Three Towns, the numerical superiority and possession favored the home team. In stoppage time, Liu Binbin scored the third goal for Shandong Luneng, seemingly sealing the definitive victory. However, Wuhan Three Towns showed their fighting spirit and, in the final minute, Liao Chengjian scored a goal thanks to an assist from Wang Jinxian.
