Dalian Kewei Eases Past Wenzhou to Progress in Chinese FA Cup

Dalian Kewei booked their place in the next round of the 2026 Chinese FA Cup with a comfortable 2-0 home win over Wenzhou Professional Football Club on April 19. In a match that started at 3:00 PM, the hosts utilized their home advantage and superior quality to secure a straightforward victory, keeping a clean sheet in the process.

Controlled Performance from the Hosts

From the opening whistle, Dalian Kewei looked the more likely side to advance. They asserted control in midfield and created a steady stream of chances. The breakthrough, which came in the first half, settled any early nerves and allowed Dalian to play with more freedom. The second goal, scored after the interval, effectively ended the contest as a spectacle, with Wenzhou unable to mount a significant comeback against a disciplined Dalian defense.

Season Implications and Looking Ahead

This result represents a successful start to Dalian Kewei's cup run. For lower-league side Wenzhou Professional FC, the competition provided a tough test against higher-level opposition. Dalian's professional performance, characterized by efficient attacking and a stout defensive display, highlights their ambitions in the tournament. They will now await the draw for the subsequent round, hoping to make a deep run and challenge the established giants of Chinese football.
