Hey football fam! 🎉
Zhejiang beat Tianjin Jinmen Tiger 2-0 at home in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in the Chinese mainland, and scored their first CSL win in three matches—what a buzzer-beater vibe! ⚽️🔥
The match kicked off with Tianjin nearly shocking the home crowd in the 15th minute when Wang Qiuming’s strike took a wild deflection off Juan Antonio Ros and smashed the post. Talk about nail-biting drama! 😱
Fast forward to the 33rd minute, Zhejiang almost grabbed the lead. Young gun Wang Yudong pounced on a sloppy pass and squared it for Yago Cariello Ribeiro in front of an open net, only for Ros to sprint back and clear on the line. Pheww! 💨
But the breakthrough came just before halftime. After a perfectly placed corner by Alexandru Mitrita, Cariello rose high to head home. The refs even used VAR (Video Assistant Referee—think slow-mo replays making sure it’s all legit) to double-check, and the goal stood. 🚀
In the second half, Zhejiang kept the pressure on but had to wait until stoppage time. In the fifth minute of added time, Deabeas Owusu-Sekyere slipped a slick pass to Franko Andrijasevic, who calmly slotted it home to seal the 2-0 victory. Talk about a last-minute hero! 🦸♂️
With this win, Zhejiang leapfrogged Tianjin into sixth place in the CSL standings. Whether you were cheering at your favorite hawker stall or catching the game on your phone, this one was pure football magic. ✨👟
Stay tuned for more CSL action, and let us know your game-day rituals! 🍿📱
