Summary: Beijing (in red) opens the score before the half-time, Tianjin (in white) egalizes in the second period but Beijing scores again. Some players of the Tianjin Team try to ask the referee for explanation, start to fight with the other team before they get excluded. As many people of the other team were excluded, Beijing scores again (3-1) and Tianjin players start to fight with the referees before the intervention of the Police.
