Match Report: Guangdong Guangzhou Power 2–1 Shaanxi Union | China League One | June 27, 2026

Guangdong Guangzhou Power secured a vital 2–1 home victory over Shaanxi Union at the Guangdong Provincial People’s Stadium on June 27, 2026. The result kept Power in the promotion playoff picture, while Shaanxi remained stuck in mid‑table after a spirited but ultimately unsuccessful fightback.

Power Take Control Early

The home side began with intensity and opened the scoring in the 14th minute. A sweeping move down the right ended with Luo Xin cutting the ball back for Zhou Yu, who finished first‑time into the bottom corner. Guangzhou continued to press, and their second goal came just before the half hour mark. A set‑piece was headed clear to the edge of the box, where Zheng Zhi controlled and unleashed a dipping volley that gave the Shaanxi keeper no chance.

Shaanxi looked disjointed in the first half, with their midfield overrun, and they went into the break two goals down.

Shaanxi Rally but Fall Short

The visitors came out with renewed purpose after the interval and pulled a goal back in the 56th minute. A long throw into the box was flicked on, and Li Chen stabbed home from close range to make it 2–1. Shaanxi then pushed for an equalizer, with several dangerous crosses flashing across the goalmouth.

But Guangzhou held firm. Their goalkeeper Han Rongze made two crucial saves in the final ten minutes – one a point‑blank stop from a header – to preserve the lead. The hosts ultimately claimed all three points.

Playoff Race Tightens

The win moved Guangdong Guangzhou Power into sixth place, just two points behind the promotion playoff positions. Shaanxi Union remained 10th, with their playoff hopes now fading. “We lost the game in the first half,” said Shaanxi manager Feng Feng. “You can’t give a team like Power a two‑goal head start.”
