Yakubu, assisted by N. Da Luz, found the back of the net. Despite Shandong Luneng's numerous substitutions and attempts to find an equalizer, they were unable to break down Qingdao's defense. The match saw a flurry of yellow cards for Shandong's Xie Wenneng and Guilherme Madruga, with Madruga also receiving a late red card. Qingdao Youth Island sealed their win in the 82nd minute through a strike from Davidson, though they finished the game with ten men after Peng Xinli was sent off in the 87th minute.
