On June 18, Beijing time, the first half of the Chinese Super League ended with a make-up match in the seventh round, Meizhou Hakka hosted Shanghai Port, and this game directly determined the ownership of the half-way champion. In the end, Shanghai Port defeated Meizhou Hakka 2-1 away and won the half-way championship.

In the pre-game standings, Meizhou Hakka ranked 12th with 13 points, and Shanghai Port ranked second only 1 point behind Shenhua, and the gap between the two sides was not small. Meizhou Hakka has played well recently, and has remained unbeaten in the past 3 rounds with 1 win and 2 draws, which is also due to the excellent performance of the team's backline, which has not conceded 1 goal in 3 games, and forced a 0-0 draw with Shandong Taishan in the last round. Shanghai Port won seven consecutive games after beating Jinmen Tigers by three goals away in the last round, although the draw at the beginning of the season was more open to Shenhua. But as the season progressed, Harbour showed the edge of the defending champions. Shenhua was forced to draw by Chengdu in the last round, which made the harbor see an opportunity to overtake.

In terms of starters, Shanghai Port attacked strongly, Wu Lei and Gustavo double arrows, Rusa and Oscar sat in the midfield, Chitanidi and Liu Zhurun flew on the wings, the back line from left to right is Li Shuai, Wei Zhen, Jiang Guangtai, Wang Shenchao, and the goalkeeper is Yan Junling; Meizhou Hakka put three central defenders to play defense and counterattack, Ye Chugui, Conrad, and Rooney formed a trident in front, Kosovic sat in the midfield, Morris and Liao Junjian sat in the back, and the goalkeeper was Cheng Yuelei.

In the first half of the game, the Harbour team besieged the Meizhou goal in the opening stage, and Gustavo knocked on the mountain with a low shot in the opening three minutes. Then Wei Zhen, Oscar, and Chitanidi made dangers one after another, all of which happened within the opening 10 minutes. In the 14th minute, Gustavo scrambled to hit the woodwork and it was the closest Harbour had to score in the first half. And Meizhou Hakka also relied on the counterattack speed of foreign aid to hit the harbor defense, Conrad ran out of a single knife in the 12th minute and was blown offside, and in the 34th minute, he broke through Yan Junling's ten fingers at a small angle and was blown offside again. Meizhou's counter-attack in the first half was generally successful, holding on to a 0-0 draw.

In the second half, the Harbor team took the lead in substitution adjustments, and Feng Jin and Bao Shimeng came on as substitutes. In the 54th minute, a corner kick from the harbor was kicked out, and Chitadini scored with a kick in front of the goal. This goal that was suspected of being profited by handball, the referee listened to VAR for five minutes and did not watch it himself, and finally ruled that the goal was valid. And this ball also made the mentality of Meizhou players unbalanced, captain Shi Liang pointed at the referee and scolded, and the assistant coach protested red. In the 67th minute, after Wu Lei's header rushed to the top and expanded the score to 2-0, the actions of Meizhou players began to grow under the influence of the referee. The referee Ren Tong gave the card to the wrong person, and VAR intervened to change the judgment of two yellows to one red and sent Ye Chugui off, and the game was completely chaotic.

In the 77th minute, Yang Xuan scored a single goal, and before Meizhou had time to celebrate, the referee raised the flag for offside. But Meizhou Hakka did not give up, and in the 83rd minute, Kosovic received a cross and volleyed a side hook into the world wave, chasing 1-2 to continue hope. Kosovic roared in celebration, apparently in response to the referee's controversial decision, and coach Ristic hurriedly signaled him to calm down. Due to the previous delay, the official gave an extra long stoppage time of 15 minutes. But in the end, Meizhou Hakka still failed to complete the draw, and Shanghai Port retreated 2-1 away, scoring three points to surpass Shanghai Shenhua by two points and winning the halfway championship.

In this game, referee Ren Tong undoubtedly became the protagonist of the game. It's a bit puzzling to have such an important halfway championship to have an inexperienced rookie referee blow it. In the face of the pressure from the players, the referee obviously couldn't control the field. First, he listened to VAR for five minutes and didn't watch it, which caused dissatisfaction among Meizhou Hakka. Then Ye Chugui committed a foul that could be straight red, and the referee only gave two yellows to one red, and there was also a suspicion of making up for it. But football games should still be handed over to the players.
