Zhejiang, which had been unbreakable for a long time, was slackened in defense, and Harbour took the opportunity to break the deadlock by Li Shenglong.

Wuxi Wugou 1-3 Beijing Guoan
Soon after the opening, Yang Liyu scored a blitz goal for Guoan to get a dream start. The leading Guoan firepower suppressed, and the Wuxi three armies defended with all their might, so that Guoan could not expand its advantage for a long time, and seized the counterattack opportunity in the 71st minute by Zhu Haiwei's volley in the penalty area to equalize the score. Coach Suarez was extremely unhappy with the sudden loss of the goal, and he immediately replaced Adebenro and Fabio. In the closing stages, Fabio scored with a header to complete the quasi-stunner.

Qingdao Manatee VS Nanjing City
At the beginning of the game, Nanjing's anti-away mainly controlled the rhythm and organized the attack, and Mateus was very active and frequently created dangers. In the 33rd minute, Ogbu scored with a header for Nanjing to take the lead. The backward manatees quickly organized a counterattack, and Hu Jinghang jumped to the top and was saved by Qi Yuxi to the limit. Nearby midfielder Nanjing took advantage of a corner kick opportunity to extend the advantage by Ogbu's header.

At the end of the game, Qingdao Manatee unfortunately overturned and defeated Nanjing City, the 8th in the Chinese League, 0-2.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers VS Changchun Yatai
It may have been a lack of adaptation to the hot weather, and the first half was lackluster for both sides. In the 59th minute of the second half, Xie Weijun burst into the net from a small angle, making the dull game a little hopeful. The backward Yatai woke up like a dream, and in just two minutes, Liu Yun and the land made joint contributions. Then the coaches of the two teams sent foreign aid one after another, and the game entered the white heat. In the closing stages, substitute Mikale Kompagno scored with a header to send the game into extra time. Soon after the opening, Guo Hao shot into the net to help Jinmen Tiger overtake the score.

Henan team VS Guangxi Pingguo Hayi
Only 2 minutes into the opening game, Henan took the lead, and Kovic got rid of the defense in the penalty area and faced the goalkeeper to hit the goalkeeper. After that, the heavy water on the pitch limited the performance of both sides, and it became very difficult to get the ball out and the shots were of little quality. After the break at halftime, Henan's offensive was like a tide, and in the 51st minute, Huang Zichang turned around gorgeously in the penalty area to get rid of the defense and shot into the far corner of the net to score the only goal of the game. The poor field made both teams worry about the next game, and the play was relatively relaxed, except for Guangxi player Sun Weizhe who received a red card for a violent foul. At the end of the game, Henan team 1-0 Guangxi Pingguo Hayi.
Shandong Taishan VS Qingdao West Coast
The two sides who were not accustomed to the rain battle continued to make mistakes in passing after the start of the game, and it was difficult for the positional attack to pose a threat. Until the 31st minute, Taishan quickly counterattacked and tore apart the opponent's defense, Mai Wulang hit the middle post from close range, and Chen Pu followed up with a follow-up shot to score Taishan's first goal. In the 50th minute of the second half, Taishan once again used the counterattack to find a good opportunity, and Peng Xin made Liu Pujin an own goal. The momentum of Taishan became more and more courageous, and in the 78th minute, Chen Pu scored with a header to complete the double ring. Cressan, who was unmarked in the closing stages, showed off his individual abilities and was the icing on the cake. At the end of the game, Qingdao West Coast lost 0-4 to Shandong Taishan, and Taishan ended its 4-game winless streak.
