So Trigella began making substitutions.
Matias replaced Wu Xudong, then took up the left flank.
Hao Junmin, who was originally a right-wing player, moved to Wu Xudong's position.
The intention behind such substitutions lay in the differing technical styles of Hao Junmin and Wu Xudong, which could present new challenges for the defenders.
Similarly, the target man Peckao, who replaced Yu Shihao, also differed in style from Yu Shihao.
