Lin scored one goal, hit one key pass and dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times.
Preceding that match was a defeat to Henan Jianye (0-2).There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Professional as they are travelling to their away game against Hangzhou in the Super League. That match is four days after this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Dalian Professional at home in the league. 3 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 3 matches.
Changchun Yatai form and stats
