The tone was set early when Huang Zichang went into the book at 10'. Shanghai Port FC then took control late in the first half. Wei Zhen broke the deadlock on 35 minutes with Oscar Melendo supplying the assist, and Yue Xin doubled the lead at 39' from Leonardo's pass. That left the visitors 2-0 up at the break and firmly in charge of the result.
Yunnan Yukun changed the game straight after the restart. Booked forward Huang made way for Bunyamin Abdusalam at half-time, and the substitute quickly altered the flow of the contest. Oscar Maritu pulled one back at 48' from Cleber's assist, before Abdusalam levelled at 52' with Alexandru Ionita creating the opening. That seven-minute surge defined the score and provided the main highlights of the afternoon.
Both benches kept shuffling in the final half hour as they searched for a winner that never came. Shanghai Port FC introduced Wang Shenchao and Liu Zhurun before the hour, while Yunnan later turned to Ye Chugui, Chenliang Zhang and Xiangshuo Zhang. A late yellow card for Wang Kit Tsui closed the summary on a 2-2 draw.
