The 7th player, Chen Yongheng, keenly captured the opportunity and successfully stabbed the open goal. Yibin team took a 1-0 lead in the away game.

With this golden goal, Xian Xiaolong broke his personal season goal tally to 17, undoubtedly crowned the first "Golden Boot" winner in the history of the Sichuan Premier League.

However, the Yibin team did not surrender. In the 73rd minute, substitute No. 12 Huang Liang made a brilliant one-on-one breakthrough on the left flank, cutting inside and shooting low to score, 2-1, putting Nanchong team in a desperate situation again.

In the face of adversity, the Nanchong team demonstrated extremely strong resilience.

In addition to the 90 minute green field battle, the "Nanchong time" before the game was also stunning. More than a hundred actors brought Sima Xiangru's Han Dynasty glory, the boatman's chant of Jialing River, and the ecological wonder of Peng'an's hundred oxen crossing the river to the green field. There are no glamorous and hollow sound and light, only the simplest display of local culture. When the melody of "Xiangru Guli · Changge Echoes" plays in the sports stadium, the perfect blend of regional culture and football passion is unique to the romance and heritage of Nanchong's home stadium.

The season will eventually come to an end, but Guocheng's love for football will never end. From falling behind twice to drawing in stoppage time, Nanchong team demonstrated the spirit of the city through their indomitable fighting. Promise next season, 'Nan Ge' won't say goodbye!
