Currently, he is on the third place in the top scorer's list with 11 goals (including 2 penalty kicks). However, his goal tally did not increase as he was unable to play in the 1-1 draw between Nanjing City and Liaoning Shenyang City in this round. In the upcoming 22nd round, Nanjing City will face Suzhou Dongwu on September 20 at 3:30 p.m. A Jiangsu derby, a key card game, is about to take place, and it looks as if

are silently building up their strength for this crucial battle.
Meanwhile, there are three scorers with the same number of nine goals (including one penalty kick), namely Jiangxi Beidamen's foreigner Magno, Sichuan Jiuniu's local scorer Ma Xiaolei, and Kunshan's foreigner Kovic, who are currently tied for fourth place on the scorer's list. It's worth noting that Magno was unfortunate to fail to break through in Jiangxi Beidamen's 1-1 draw with Heilongjiang Bingcheng, despite starting the whole game.
Ma Xiaolei, on the other hand, was on the bench for Sichuan Jiuniu's 2-0 win over Beijing Institute of Technology, although he was on the bench, probably because the team's other two local players, Wang Chu and Xia Dalong, had already scored to ensure the team's lead, plus the fact that they will face their direct rivals for the Super League in the next round

of the key matchup, so Ma Xiaolei was not sent to the field.
Kovic didn't get too many chances on goal in Kunshan's 2-0 win over Qingdao Youth Island, even though he started the game. Instead, local scorer Feng Bo Yuan helped his team score with two headers. In the 65th minute, Kovic was taken off the

To summarize, in the just-concluded 21st round, the top six scorers in the Central League scoring list failed to score, which may be just a coincidence. But no matter what, it doesn't affect the intensity of the battle for the Golden Boot in this season's Central League. It can be expected that in the next 13 rounds of the league, all the scorers will start a fierce battle for the Golden Boot.
Indeed, with enough strength and the favor of Lady Luck, the next goal will come soon enough. For example, in the Premier League, Korean striker Son Heung-seru, who only broke his goal drought this season in the 8th round of matches, and who came on as a substitute in Tottenham Hotspur's 6-2 thrashing of Leicester City, completed a hat-trick in just under 30 minutes.
