The win gave Yangzhou three crucial points, lifting them from just one point to four and moving them out of the bottom three spots in the standings.
The decisive moment came in the 62nd minute of the second half when the deadlock was finally broken. Team Yangzhou's No 7 Wu Lei played a clever pass that cut right through the defense. Then his teammate Jing Xinbo ran onto it, controlled it cleanly, and fired home without hesitation, a goal that sealed the victory.
