Chongqing Tonglianglong booked their place in the next round of the Chinese FA Cup with a commanding 2-0 away victory over Ningbo Professional Football Club on June 20, 2026. The visitors dominated possession and created the better chances throughout the match.

Chongqing broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute through a well-taken header from a corner routine. The goal came after sustained pressure on the Ningbo defense, which struggled to cope with the visitors' quick passing and movement. The second goal arrived early in the second half when a swift counterattack ended with a composed finish into the bottom corner.
