Henan struck first after a tense opening spell. A VAR check ruled out a penalty for the visitors in the 14th minute, but they still found the breakthrough on 35 minutes when Bruno Nazario finished from Wang Shangyuan's assist. That lead survived another review, with the goal confirmed shortly after. Yunnan Yukun thought they had a route back before the interval, only for a home goal to be cancelled following another VAR intervention. Yang Zihao then went into the book in first-half stoppage time.
The match changed quickly after the restart. Henan shuffled their side with a double substitution before the hour, but Yunnan Yukun found their equaliser at 63 minutes when Bunyamin Abdusalam converted from Oscar Maritu's assist. Within two minutes, Henan had collected two bookings, with Wang Shangyuan and He Chao both cautioned as the momentum swung.
The decisive moment arrived at 74 minutes. Cleber had only been on the pitch a couple of minutes after replacing Bunyamin Abdusalam when he struck the winner to complete the comeback. Henan made further changes late on, and Yang Yilin was booked, but the home side saw out the result. It was a summary of resilience from Yunnan Yukun, who recovered from 0-1 down to win 2-1.
