After the game, Yunnan Yukun head coach Anderson was quite sorry for not winning. He said that the Guangzhou team was the most powerful opponent he had ever encountered since coaching. The Guangzhou team's pressure in the first half caused difficulties to the team, and the team's timely adjustments after the midfield also laid the foundation for the equalizer in the second half. "We brought the players closer together in the second half and attacked more aggressively." Anderson said that since there is no var in the current Chinese League One, it makes the last-minute goal being called even more of a pity. "If Var had stepped in, it would have been a win today," Anderson said.
