Shenhua's side of Malele, Teixeira, Amadou and Manafa started the four foreign players, Luis sat on the bench and was on standby, and the newly loaned naturalized international Fernando was also substituted. The difference between the starting strength of the two teams on paper is not too big, the number and quality of foreign aid are balanced, and there are also many international players.
After the start of the game, Shenhua quickly entered the rhythm of the game, and began to suppress Wuhan Three Towns with the main anti-guest, although the latter had an advantage in the number of foreign aids, but did not play an overall role. Wuhan Three Towns has a very poor home record, with 2 wins, 2 draws, 6 losses, and only 8 goals. In the 42nd minute of the game, Xu Haoyang crossed at an angle of 45 degrees on the left side, and after passing the players at the front point, Yang Zexiang, who came on as a substitute, scored with a shovel shot when no one was marked at the back point, and Shenhua broke the deadlock 1-0.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Wuhan Three Towns had a very unfavorable situation, Jiang Zhipeng was pulled by Gao Tianyi on the side, causing the ball to go out of bounds, the linesman was at the place of the incident but did not say anything, Jiang Zhipeng immediately expressed his dissatisfaction with the linesman, who informed the referee that Jiang Zhipeng had abusive behavior, and the referee rushed to the place of the incident to show Jiang Zhipeng a red card. Jiang Zhipeng was very angry and insulted the linesman many times. Then in the 67th minute, Shenhua created chaos in the penalty area of Wuhan Three Towns, and after VAR intervened, the referee awarded a penalty, and Malele scored a penalty, and Shanghai Shenhua led 2-0.

However, there was a reversal on the field immediately, Liu Dianzuo quickly sent a goalball to attack directly, Enrique ran out of a single chance to pick the goalkeeper, but was knocked down by Bao Yaxiong, the referee decisively showed a red card to Bao Yaxiong, and the number of both sides returned to the same running line. After that, Wuhan Three Towns gradually had an offensive, but due to the quality of foreign aid, the home team still did not get a good chance to score, and finally Shanghai Shenhua defeated Wuhan Three Towns 2-0 away.
