Haigang took the lead in the opening match of the Chinese Super League (CSL) tournament on Sunday, securing a comfortable victory over their opponents.
The game was a close one throughout, with both teams displaying excellent attacking skills and defensive prowess. However, Haigang managed to take the lead in the second half through a well-taken goal from midfielder Guo Zhaoyi.
The team's coach, Lu Xingyi, praised his players for their performance, stating that they had worked hard all week and were ready to give it their best shot in the tournament.
