After some fancy dribbling in the 27th minute, 俞威政 managed to get in a good position for a shot. 中职联-山东泰山's supporters rose to their feet, but 俞威政 was a bit off balance and shot the ball just wide of the left post. Julio Vera breathed a sigh of relief and went to take the goal kick. 唐浩磊 kicked well hit freekick during the 38th minute of the match. Even after changing tactics the home team jogged off the field with a 0-3 deficit. They would have to work harder if they wanted to turn things around in the second half.

Santiago Subirada fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 51st minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Julio Vera having to interfere.
