The match was a closely contested affair with both teams putting in strong performances. However, it was Changchun who were able to secure the win thanks to a well-executed attacking display.

In the first half, Changchun made the most of their possession as they created numerous opportunities to score. Their forwards were able to find space in the box and convert their shots on target, while also making life difficult for Shenhua's defense.

As the game progressed, Shenhua began to tire and struggled to create any real scoring opportunities. This allowed Changchun to build up pressure and eventually break through in the second half.

The breakthrough came when Changchun's striker found himself one-on-one with the goalkeeper and slotted the ball past him into the back of the net. The goal proved to be the turning point of the match as it gave Changchun a two-goal lead that they never looked like losing.

Shenhua put up a good fight but ultimately could not find a way to equalize or even threaten the Changchun goal again. As the final whistle blew, the fans erupted in celebration as Changchun secured their victory.
