Shenzhen Juniors 5:1 Meizhou Kejia: League One Match Result

Match report

Shenzhen Juniors saw off Meizhou Hakka 5-1 in League One's Regular Season round 22 on September 6th. The hosts moved clear at second place while the visitors slipped further down towards the relegation zone. It was a match decided in the first half, really, though the goals kept coming after the break.

And here's the thing about minute twenty — Triboulet had a penalty to take and missed. That changed everything. By then Yang Yihu had already been shown red, so Meizhou were down to ten men and trying to hold on. Sakhi picked up a yellow card for a late challenge, but the damage was done. Shenzhen could finally attack without fear.

The goals started at forty-eight minutes when Li Jiarun found the net. Shang Yin doubled the lead before half-time at fifty-seven, and then Dugalic and Nouble added two more in quick succession. The visitors' defence simply refused to go away, but it wasn't enough. Shi Yucheng and Liu Xiaolong rounded off the scoring in the second half.

Shenzhen dominated possession at 57 per cent and created five big chances against three for the visitors. They registered 10 shots on target with 63 attacks, while Meizhou managed just 5 shots on target from 48 attacks. The statistics tell the story — many chances went begging for the visitors, but the hosts made theirs count.

Shenzhen now sit second with 22 points from 22 matches, their form continuing with wins over Dongguan United and Nanjing City in recent weeks. Meizhou remain fifteenth with only 12 points, and that gap to safety is growing. Cup football has its own rules, but this was League One, and the result matters.
