Nanjing were so close to getting something from the game against Hangzhou, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal three minutes into overtime.
A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Shenyang Urban.A quick return to home after this game, as Nanjing are hosting Suzhou Dongwu in the League One only three days away.
The attacking power of Nanjing when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away. Nanjing have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
