In the latest fixture, the Barracuda Bay Stadium in Dalian celebrated a milestone moment, as the record number of spectators in the Chinese League One has been set, with a whopping 56,595 people attending the match in person. However, Dalian Yingbo met a stiff resistance from Shijiazhuang Kung Fu in this round of matchups, and ultimately failed to widen the gap with their rivals, leaving the road to overtaking still wide open. Despite its impressive performance, Dalian Yibo has suffered two draws and one loss recently, and some people have begun to speculate whether this is the team's deliberate strategy of "stepping on the brakes".
With seven league matches still to be played this season, including three home matches, Dalian Yingbo still has the potential to set a new attendance record in the Central League. Currently, the team is gaining momentum in the overtaking race, and the probability of eventually winning the title is gradually climbing.
Looking ahead, Dalian Yingbo will play Shanghai Jiading Huilong in the final round, and playing at home will undoubtedly give the team an extra advantage. If the suspense continues into the final round, the Barracuda Bay Stadium may once again witness the birth of a record. However, for Dalian fans, keeping the suspense until the final round is full of excitement, but it also comes with a certain amount of risk, compared to locking up the overtaking in advance seems to be more prudent.
Dalian Yingbo will face Nanjing City in their penultimate home game on October 12, the 27th round of the season. Currently, Dalian Yibo has a five-point lead over third-place Guangzhou. If the team can win all three points in the next three rounds, it is expected to lock the overtaking in advance in the 27th round, when the Barracuda Bay Stadium will most likely witness the attendance record of China A-League being set again.
