According to Liaoning Daily, Zhu Pengyu contributed one goal and one assist, and Mao Weijie also scored a goal. On August 18th, thanks to the outstanding performance of its young players, Dalian EBFC won 2-1 away against Heilongjiang Bingcheng FC in the 19th round of the Chinese League One, achieving its second four-game winning streak of the season.
During the one-month break, Dalian EBFC did not relax, returning to the training ground to prepare for the game after a short break. During this period, Mao Weijie, Zhu Pengyu, and Qu Geping represented the U19 national youth team in two friendly matches against the Iranian U19 national youth team, and Mao Weijie even scored a stunning volley. Dalian EBFC is full of confidence for the last stage of the league.
Heilongjiang Bingcheng FC, the opponent in this round, sits in 12th place in the Chinese League One. Although there is a significant difference in ranking, with the advantage of home advantage, Heilongjiang Bingcheng FC launched a threatening attack at the start of the game. Fortunately, the Dalian EBFC defense played stably and neutralized the offensive. After withstanding the opponent’s pressure, Dalian EBFC seized an opportunity. In the 36th minute, Lü Chaoyi took a free kick, and Zhu Pengyu headed the ball into the net. However, in the first half stoppage time, Zhang Jian, who previously played for Dalian Pro, received a through ball from his teammate and volleyed to equalize the score. This served as a wake-up call for EBFC, reminding them to stay focused and never let up until the final whistle.
To strengthen their attack, EBFC brought on Mao Weijie in the second half, a substitution that proved to be very effective. In the 71st minute, after a wave of attacks was neutralized, EBFC organized an offensive play. Yan Xiangchuang passed the ball to the right side, Zhu Pengyu played a through ball without stopping, and Mao Weijie, unmarked at the back post, headed the ball into the net, securing victory for the team. Mao Weijie’s return to form is crucial for the team’s future matches.
After the game, Zhu Pengyu, who contributed one goal and one assist, was named the best player of the match. He stated that the team did not give up in difficult circumstances and the players came together to win the game. The absence of Kalanga due to suspension reduced the team’s options in attack. However, the Dalian EBFC players, who have weathered many storms this season, have learned to face adversity calmly.
The bigger significance of EBFC’s victory lies in the fact that the team has gradually established itself in the promotion zone. On August 17th, Chongqing Tongliang Long FC, ranked third in the Chinese League One, suffered a surprising defeat against Jiangxi Lushan FC, who are at the bottom of the table. Dalian EBFC has solidified its position in second place and now holds a 6-point lead over Chongqing Tongliang Long FC. Dalian EBFC is the only team among the top eight in the Chinese League One to have won this round. Although there are still 11 rounds to go in the league, this excellent form has added weight to the team’s promotion ambitions.
