Heilongjiang Harbin 2-5 Dalian Team: Dalian’s Attacking Firepower Sinks Home Side

Dalian Team produced a scintillating attacking display on May 23, 2026, thumping Heilongjiang Harbin 5-2 in a Northeast China Football League thriller at the Harbin International Sports Center. The result kept Dalian’s title hopes alive and exposed defensive frailties in the Heilongjiang backline.

First Half: Goal Fest Leaves Home Fans Stunned

The match exploded into life inside the first 10 minutes. Dalian took the lead in the 6th minute through a powerful header from striker Wu Peng from a corner. Heilongjiang responded quickly, equalizing in the 14th minute when midfielder Jiang Tao smashed home a half-volley from the edge of the box.

However, Dalian’s superior quality soon told. They scored twice in the space of five minutes: first, a solo run from Liu Jun who dribbled past three defenders before slotting home (28'), then a tap-in for Wu Peng following a goalmouth scramble (33'). Heilongjiang pulled one back before half-time through a penalty converted by Yang Bo, making it 3-2 at the break.

Second Half: Dalian Puts the Game to Bed

Heilongjiang pushed for an equalizer early in the second half, but Dalian’s counter-attacks proved devastating. In the 62nd minute, substitute Zhou Yu raced onto a long ball and finished calmly to make it 4-2. Heilongjiang’s heads dropped, and Dalian added a fifth in the 78th minute when Liu Jun struck again with a curling effort from outside the box.

The home side offered little resistance in the final quarter. Dalian’s midfield trio controlled possession and limited Heilongjiang to speculative long-range efforts. The final score of 5-2 reflected Dalian’s lethal efficiency in front of goal.

Standout Performers

• Liu Jun (Dalian) – Two goals and an assist; unplayable on the counter-attack.
• Wu Peng (Dalian) – Scored a brace, including the crucial early second goal.
