Yunnan Yukun came from behind to beat Dalian Zhixing FC 3-1, turning the match around with three goals in the final 20 minutes. Dalian had led from the 13th minute through Frank Acheampong, but Yunnan's pressure eventually told after Dalian were reduced to ten men.
Acheampong put Dalian ahead early, with Nicolae Stanciu providing the assist. Yunnan's equaliser arrived in the 72nd minute through Cléber, before Oscar Taty Maritu scored twice in quick succession — both goals set up by Liuyu Duan — to make it 3-1. Dalian's afternoon got harder when Mao Weijie was shown a second yellow card in the 36th minute and sent off.
The numbers underline how much Yunnan dominated: they had 73% possession, 29 shots to Dalian's 5, and created ten big chances. Yet they needed until the 72nd minute to find a way through, and it was Maritu's late double that sealed a victory built on sustained pressure.
