Shandong Luneng defeated Shenzhen F.C. 2-0 on Saturday night on a field soaked with water. The heavy rain made it very difficult to even control the ball for both sides. Players of the two teams committed in total 32 fouls, which led to six yellow cards. In the 25th minute, Graziano Pelle took advantage of a turnover by Shenzhen's defender to score the first goal for Shandong, which led 1-0. In the 89th minute, Shenzhen's Zhang Yuan slipped and lost the ball to Liu Linlin, who tricked both the goalkeeper and his defender before making it 2-0 for Shandong.
The other game between Dalian Professional and Guangzhou R&F on the same night was postponed because of heavy rain in Dalian.
