Guangzhou E-Power took all three points against Usi Wugao in the League One Regular Season, closing out a 3-0 victory on Friday evening. The visitors had already been sitting at the summit of the table before kick-off, and this result only widened the gap between them and the chasing pack.
The match was decided in a tight window between the thirty-third and forty-first minutes. Wang Jingbin opened the scoring at 33, and here's the thing — the home side still had time to respond before Han Xuan struck twice in quick succession. By then the game was effectively over, though the clock had barely ticked past the hour mark.
What stood out was how little possession meant against a side that knew what they were doing. The hosts had 48 per cent of the ball and managed 109 attacks, but created zero big chances. Guangzhou E-Power, with 52 per cent possession and the same number of attacks, turned two big chances into three goals. The statistics tell you everything about efficiency.
Substitutions came thick and fast in the second half, with eight changes between the seventy-minute mark and full-time. Liu Boyang, N. Noordanus, and Xiao Kun all came on for one side while Zhou Yunyi, Han Xuan, O. Camara, and Tursunjan Ahmat featured for the other. The game had been settled long before the manager started turning to his bench.
The table now reads starkly. Usi Wugao sit eighth with 26 points from 20 games, three wins and two defeats behind them. Guangzhou E-Power have moved further ahead with 50 points from 22 fixtures, only two losses all season and one foot in the next round of whatever comes next.
