The performance of the team was a bit flat. After entering the 13th round, they are only 1 point away from the fourth place Hebei team, and ranked fifth in the Suzhou region, the initiative to compete for the championship has basically been lost.
The Riverhounds' prospects of making it into the championship bracket look bright.

was suspended for five matches after committing an offense during the match. And today, the CFA penalized Hebei player Zhang Chengdong again!
On August 13, the Disciplinary Committee of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) issued a notice that Hebei's No. 28 player Zhang Chengdong was suspended for five matches and fined 50,000 RMB!
Combined with the previous red card earned by Zhang Chengdong, the 31-year-old international now faces a six-match suspension.
During the match between Changchun Yatai and Hebei, Zhang Chengdong suddenly lost control of his emotions towards the end of the match and shoved the referee, which the CFA considered to be an extremely egregious infraction, and thus severely penalized him.
Apart from Zhang Chengdong, another player in the clash, Wang Peng, was also penalized by the CFA with a two-match suspension and a 20,000 RMB fine.

Zhang Chengdong's six-match suspension casts a shadow over the River Plate's future prospects.
