In the 26th minute, Anselmo Ramon's header in a close range helped Hangzhou regained the lead 2-1. Eight minutes before the half break, Greenland enlarged the gap as Davy Claude N'Guessan's shot found the centre bottom net after receiving Chen Po-Liang's long pass.

In the 60th minute, Ramon made his second goal through a counterattack and locked the final score to 4-1. Hangzhou climbed to the 11th place in the league.
