In the first match, Shandong took the lead in the 57th minute through a header from Xie Zhixu. However, Henan equalized just moments later with a goal from Guo Wenxiang. The hosts were able to level the score on the 64th minute through a penalty kick, but they could not hold onto the lead as Henan secured the win.
The second match was more exciting as Shandong drew level with Henan at halftime before scoring the winning goal in the 89th minute through a header from Liu Xiaoli. The hosts were then able to claim the victory after a penalty shootout, with Shen Yuxuan scoring the winner in the 110th minute.
Both matches showcased the strengths and weaknesses of both teams. While Shandong has been performing well this season, Henan's defensive solidity has been a major strength for them.
