In the first round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on the evening of the 16th, Shenzhen, sitting at home in the Universiade Center, beat promotion horse Qingdao Hainiu 2-1 to make a good start to the new season. The soldiers of the Shenzhen football team made good on their promise to fight for three points at home.
With Alessandrini's back injury not yet recovered, Acheampong is the only foreign aid leader, while Qingdao Hainiu has three foreign aiders in the starting lineup at the same time. In terms of paper strength, SZF seems to be far away from their opponents.
However, when the game is actually played, viewers may soon realize that this Shenzhen team, which plays almost all Chinese teams, is not useless, and the connection between Shen Zigui and Acheampong is also very threatening.
In the first half, Yuan Mincheng's goal-bound volley and Xahazati Ugahmeti's penalty kick broke the net to build a 2-0 lead for the Shamrocks, which undoubtedly surprised most people.
And, Shahzati Gogahmati's penalty kick breakthrough is considered as a milestone moment in the Super League. Xahazati Ughahebaiti, born on July 7, 2006, is only 16 years and 283 days old. His goal also meant that Huang Bowen's previous record of being the youngest player to score in the Chinese Super League (16 years and 317 days) was rewritten.
The supreme trust of Major Chen Tao and the composure of Shahzati in taking the penalty gave a glimpse of this profound temperament today.
More importantly, the whole team celebrated and rejoiced one after the other after the two goals scored by Shamrocks, reflecting the team's desire to win and the tight unity among the players.
In the second half, despite Qingdao Sea Bulls getting a goal back by foreigner Andrejevic, Shamrocks eventually withstood the pressure and kept the victory until the end.
After the game, the assistant coach, who attended the press conference, told June: "The first game is very difficult for any team. This year, many of our players appeared in the Chinese Super League for the first time. Thanks to the players for finishing the game under pressure, which was a great relief for our coaching staff."
