According to regulation of Chinese FA Cup, only native player could play in this match. Without Alex Teixeira, Ramires, Jô, Sammir and Trent Sainsbury, Jiangsu Suning found it hard to fashion a goal-scoring chance with Wuhan Hongxing's intense defense and time-wasting technique. Dan Petrescu, manager of Jiangsu Suning, was sent off to stand in the 69th minute due to objecting Wuhan Hongxing's time-wasting. Wuhan Hongxing also received numerous yellow cards and hoped to make the match go into the penalty shoot-out. However, Jiangsu's 2-meter high striker Ge Wei, who came on as a substitute in the second half, scored in the 7th minute of stoppage time as Jiangsu edged Wuhan Hongxing 1–0 and advanced to the next round.
