Tianjin Jinmen Tiger came away from Qingdao with a 2-0 victory, a result that owed much to their ruthlessness in front of goal. The visitors had fewer total shots (13 to 19) and less possession (48% to 52%), but they created seven big chances to Qingdao's none and scored two of them.
Guilherme Schettine opened the scoring in the 33rd minute, finishing after Ming-Him Sun's assist. The match remained tight until stoppage time, when Alberto Quiles doubled the lead from a Bruno Xadas pass. Four yellow cards were shown during the game, including one to Schettine and one to Sun.
The key number was the big chances total: Tianjin had seven, Qingdao had zero. Tianjin goalkeeper made five saves to keep a clean sheet, while Qingdao's goalkeeper had just one save. Tianjin were clinical and efficient, turning their limited dominance into two goals.
