Copperbottom Dragons and Red Lions battle to a thrilling draw, drop consecutive points under pressure
The Chongqing Tongliang Dragons finally returned home after a series of road trips to the north and south, but they failed to win against the Qingdao Red Lions. 2 draws and 1 loss on the road was disappointing, and they returned to the familiar Tongliang Dragons Stadium to shake hands with their opponents with a score of 1-1. Shenzhen referee Ding Chao took charge of the matchup. Tongliang Dragons conceded the first goal in the first 7 minutes, Qingdao Red Lions' new foreigner Mwaga's header opened the scoring for the team and opened the scoring for his first goal of the season. And in the 63rd minute, Tongliang Dragon's new recruit Vukic scored a goal in the air to equalize the score.
Despite returning home, Chongqing Tongliang Dragons still failed to turn the tide, failing to win for four consecutive rounds and losing serious points. The recent loss of points has widened the gap between them and the second place to three points, and the team's inexperience in preparation for the game has significantly reduced their motivation for the Super League. Qingdao Red Lions, on the other hand, have continued their excellent form, winning six consecutive matches, and are currently ranked 11th with 19 points, urgently need to solve the predicament of consecutive losses.
Suzhou Dongwu beat Wuxi Wuhu, Jiangsu derby success to keep three points
Suzhou Dongwu returned to the Suzhou Sports Center Stadium after their road trip and started a fierce Jiangsu derby with Wuxi Wu Hook. Referee Yan Xu from Hebei was the referee for this match. In the first half, both sides failed to score due to the high number of fouls. In the second half, Suzhou Dongwu attacked hard and got a penalty kick in the 72nd minute, Leonardo Silva hit the ball to give his team the lead, and Zhang Lingfeng added a goal in the 90th+6th minute to seal the victory.
Suzhou Dongwu managed to hold on to three points with the win, bringing their total to 30 and moving them up to fourth place in the Central League. Nevertheless, there is still a 7-point gap between them and the top two, so there is little hope of overtaking them. Wuxi Wuhu, although undefeated for three consecutive rounds, is still in the bottom three with 11 points after the loss, so the relegation situation is not optimistic.
