QINGDAO, China (Interstat) — Qingdao Hainiu FC opened its Chinese Super League season with a 1-0 victory over Wuhan San Zhen FC on Sunday at Qingdao Youth Football Stadium. The game’s lone goal came in the 10th minute from Didier Lamkel Zé, who was assisted by defender Song Long. The result defied the pregame projection from Interstat, which gave Qingdao a 77.5% chance to win but simulated a 2-1 final score. The match was a physical affair, featuring six yellow cards, including one to Lamkel Zé in second-half stoppage time. With the win, Qingdao Hainiu begins the campaign with a 1-0 record, while Wuhan San Zhen starts 0-1.
