Wuhan Three Towns won 1-5 away to Qingdao Hainiu in the CFA Super League. They took the lead inside half an hour through Gustavo Sauer and never looked back, adding a second before the break. The contest was effectively settled when Qingdao's Zixian Wei was sent off after a second booking.
Sauer fired Wuhan in front on 28 minutes, and Jhonder Cádiz doubled the lead from Sauer's assist ten minutes later. Sauer made it 0-3 on the hour, and after Wei's red card, Kilian Bevis and Cádiz, assisted by Adriano Firmino, struck in quick succession. Song Wenjie pulled one back for the hosts in the 90th minute.
Gustavo Sauer was the standout performer, scoring twice and setting up Cádiz's first goal. The numbers show how clinical Wuhan were: they converted four of eight big chances while Qingdao managed only one from four despite taking 20 shots. The visitors also had more possession and completed more passes, and the scoreline reflected that superiority.
