Reporter Zuo Rui reports 0-0, promoted Ma Yunnan Yukun scored another 1 point away, and while getting a greater buffer, he also continued to press his opponent Changchun Yatai in the high-risk area of relegation. This is the first time they have conceded a clean sheet away from home since they were promoted to the Chinese Super League. Head coach Anderson was reluctant to end in a draw in a match that "had a good chance of winning", but he said it was "acceptable" to get a point away from Changchun. After all, a draw not only honed more players, but also gained more self-confidence.

More away points

This round against Yatai is the third consecutive away event in Yukun in 9 days. Previously, they gave Three Towns their first three points of the season 1-3, and then snatched a precious draw from Rongcheng. Striker Luis Enrique scored a penalty in Wuhan, and four days later, midfielder Hou Yongyong scored an equaliser in Chengdu – the same maiden goal for the client, and when it happened again near the end, it was not only the difference between points and not, but more importantly, such a goal was inspiring and showed the team's indomitable fighting spirit.

This round of the game is the farthest distance and the longest wandering time since Yukun was promoted to the Chinese Super League, and it is also the first time they have played in the daytime period. Before the game, Anderson once again affirmed the significance of scoring points from a strong team for the first time in his trip to Chengdu, and hoped that the team would continue to maintain the fighting spirit and strive to "get more points from the away side".

After the opening, Anderson sent a lineup similar to the previous round: Xu Hongjie, Martinez, Yi Teng, Li Songyi formed the backline; Attacking midfielder Yonicha continued to sit on the bench, captain Zhao Yuhao and Nene formed a deep middle lane, and Hou Yongyong and Ye Chugui moved on the left and right flanks; Enrique and Oscar remain the visitors' most trusted attacking partners.

A stronger desire to win

Less than four minutes into the first half, the Portuguese midfielder kicked a beautiful curling ball with his left foot, but it was saved by the home team's goalkeeper Wu Yake. After that, although Yukun had a slight advantage in possession, Yatai got more shots on goal. In the 24th and 30th minutes, Yatai played two high-quality attacks, and Berridge's shot allowed goalkeeper Ma Zhen to make two good saves. In the 39th minute, Oscar hit back with a header.

In the second half, due to Martinez's injury and departure, Yatai's old player Han Zilong temporarily came into play, and Ye Chugui's position was adjusted accordingly. In the 49th minute, it was Beric who fired a powerful long-range shot from outside the box, and this time, Ma Zhen's save was already useless, but the post blocked one of Yatai's most promising chances to score.

In the 70th minute, Anderson replaced Enrique with Atletico Roatleti, and Dili Murati replaced Ye Chugui. Several energetic new troops went into battle, and Yukun relieved the pressure on the defense with an attack. In the 87th minute, Li Biao and Yin Congyao came on the field to replace Hou Yongyong and Nene, who had decreased physical strength. This allowed Yukun to continue to increase his vitality to attack instead of defending, and continue to put enough pressure on his opponent.

In stoppage time, in the face of the opponent who was tough in defense and did not stop attacking, the home team's goalkeeper Wu Yake also had to use the rules to use "slow motion" to delay the time of receiving the ball and kicking off. Just before the final whistle, Han Zilong's free-kick rushed over the crossbar and the visitors' attack came to an end.

Anderson affirmed the team's overall performance and execution, especially the chances created by the team's pressing, "If you take it well, you can win the game." ”

Better cheering options

Zhao Yuhao felt a little less lucky that the offense failed to turn into a goal in the second half, but the whole team did a good job of defense first, which is still "great".
