In just two days from July 29th to 30th, the 19th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) blossomed like fireworks, with a total of 8 exciting matches taking place. This round of matches is full of highlights, including not only the summit match between Harbor and Shenhua, but also the fierce battle between the traditional powerhouses and the battle of life and death of the teams on the verge of relegation.
Leading the way was the battle between Henan and Shenzhen, a fierce battle for the fate of relegation. Although Henan is ranked 12th with 16 points, they are only 4 points ahead of the relegation zone, and the risk of relegation still looms large. Facing the Shenzhen team, which is also on the edge of the relegation zone and has just lost its captain, Henan is in desperate need of points, and I am afraid that this battle will be extremely fierce.
Shanghai Shenhua will face Shanghai Port for the second time this season. The two teams drew in their last meeting and both remain undefeated. This time around, Shanghai Port is showing signs of being champions with an eight-point lead, but they won't dare to take their arch-rivals Shanghai Shenhua lightly. Sparks will undoubtedly fly in this sparkling clash.
The Battle of Beijing and Lu is also not to be underestimated, ticket sales are booming, the number of people watching the game is expected to exceed 40,000 people. Taishan's new recruit Pato's joining, but also for this duel adds a mysterious color.
Relegation is also on the line for Meizhou Hakka in their matchup with Dalian Ren. Meizhou Hakka are in 13th place and are obviously holding back in order to get more points in the crucial "battle of 6 points". Dalian, which has not won for 17 consecutive rounds, will also hope to get points on the road to reverse the trend.
Other exciting matches include Tianjin Jinmen Tigers vs Changchun Yatai, Nantong Zhiyun vs Cangzhou Lions, Chengdu Rongcheng hosting Zhejiang, and Qingdao Hainiu challenging Wuhan Sanzhen on the road. Each match is full of suspense and anticipation.
