Wuhan Three Town continued to consolidate their position at the top of the Chinese Super League (CSL) table with a 2-1 victory in the 5th round of the CSL on June 19th at 17:30hrs. Malcolm Malcolm and Ren Hang each scored, while Ndiaye was unable to save the hosts Shanghai Harbor despite a spirited effort on goal. However, stoppage time errors by Xie Pengfei and Liu Zhurun took center stage in a tense match.
Liu Zhurun, just 20 years old, was in a central midfield position, facing a long pass from Wang Shenchao with no one within 5 meters, but he staged an outrageous stopping error to give the ball to Wuhan Sanzhen.
Although Liu Zhurun performed reasonably well as a substitute last season, scoring 2 goals in the league, he has been forced to become a starting striker this season due to the departure of Lopez, the team's only foreign winger, and has made 4 starts in the first 5 rounds. However, his current performance seems to have left him a bit out of his depth, and he doesn't seem to be ready to take on the role of a starting striker, either physically or in terms of his skills.
Liu Zhurun had missed a great one-two chance in the Shanghai derby, and his performance against Wuhan Sanzhen in this round was still lackluster, even making an embarrassing stopping error.
However, compared to that stopping error by Shi Ke, Liu Zhurun's 5-meter stop doesn't seem particularly exaggerated.
In addition, besides Liu Zhurun's mistake, international midfielder Xie Pengfei also made an incredible 5-meter high stop during the game, making people wonder how he did it.
Fans couldn't help but exclaim, "How unexpected that in this seemingly ordinary game, there were mistakes by two top players at the same time!"
