Chang'an Athletics in
AFC Cup (soccer championship)
Meeting Shanghai Harbor again in the race, unfortunately, this time seems to be even more painful compared to the last regrettable loss.

The attraction that led to this year's
AFC Cup (soccer championship)
Attention is down from previous years. However, for Chang'an Athletic and Shaanxi fans, with the
China Super League (soccer league)
The meeting of the strongest teams is certainly a valuable exercise.
Going back three and a half years, Longhorn Athletics had been in the
AFC Cup (soccer championship)
He met Shanghai Harbor (then known as Shanghai SIPG) in the middle of the season. At that time, Wu Lei had not yet traveled overseas and was facing a strong team, with many international players, Shanghai Harbor looked very powerful.
Facing SIPG, Chang'an Athletic has been through the wringer in the
AFC Cup (soccer championship)
In the first round, the team relied on penalty kicks to win against Hebei Elite, with goalkeeper Song Zhenyu performing bravely in the penalty shootout. In the second round of the tournament, Chang'an Athletic, which was still in the second division of the Chinese League, once again staged a comeback, with Du Junpeng scoring from a free kick for the second consecutive game.
In the third round against Shanghai SIPG, the provincial stadium was packed with nearly 40,000 Shaanxi fans cheering for Chang'an Athletic. Although the final goal difference did not qualify, but the performance of Changan Athletic in that game is still impressive, Shanghai Hong Kong finally rely on Wu Lei's goal to get through.
Why do I remember it so clearly? Because I was there for all three games that year. That spring before graduation, I was at the Provincial Sports Complex to witness Longhorn Athletics in the
AFC Cup (soccer championship)
A strong performance in the middle. Now that three and a half years have passed, the epidemic and work make it difficult to watch the game live in the short term, which inevitably makes people feel a little regret.
However, Longacre Athletic's performance continues to be a joy to watch. After two years of playing against their rivals again, things have changed. Now Chang'an Athletic has been playing in the Central League for two seasons, and Shanghai Harbor has changed its name to Shanghai Harbor. In this match, Chang'an Athletic will not be inferior to the opponent with an incomplete lineup.
Shanghai Seaport took the lead in the first half of the match with a brilliant goal by foreigner Paulinho, but Chang'an Athletic then quickly organized an effective attack and threatened the opponent's goal several times.
Substitute Tambu equalized for his team, and although the opponents eventually went back in front again through penalties, Chang'an Athletic's last-minute attack was still enough to keep the fans happy.
After the game, the two CCTV commentators said: "Chang'an Athletic's team framework has been quite perfect" and "Shanghai Seaport won very hard". Such comments can only be obtained after experiencing the struggle of Chang'an Athletic. Still, I hope that one day Chang'an Athletic will be able to stand in the center of the world.
