Another goalless draw marked the early stages of the Chinese Women's FA Cup, as Zhejiang Hangzhou Bank Women and Fujian Nanan Women cancelled each other out in a 0-0 deadlock. The match, played in the morning hours, saw plenty of effort but a distinct lack of quality in the final third from both outfits. Zhejiang, perhaps favored as the home side, enjoyed more possession but found it difficult to break down a compact and disciplined Fujian defensive block. The visitors were content to absorb pressure and look for opportunities on the break, though they too lacked the precision to trouble the scoreboard. The most notable incident was a disallowed goal for Zhejiang in the 70th minute for a marginal offside call, which summed up a frustrating day for the attackers. The result means the tie remains perfectly balanced, with the pressure now on both teams to be more adventurous in the next encounter to secure a place in the following round.
