At 19:35 on the evening of August 20, 2019, Beijing time, the semifinals of the 2019 Chinese FA Cup continued, with Shanghai SIPG hosting Shandong Luneng at home. In the first half, Oscar missed a one-on-one opportunity; Moises provided an assist via a free kick, allowing Fellaini to break the deadlock. Just before half-time, Liu Yang was sent off after receiving a red card. In the second half, Gedes came on as a substitute and assisted Zhang Chi to score, widening the score gap; although Oscar scored a goal just before the end, it was ruled out. In the end, Luneng defeated Shanghai SIPG 2-0 away from home, securing a place in this season’s FA Cup final against Shenhua.
