Tonight, at 19:35 GMT on August 4, the 20th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) reignited with five major tournaments coming together. Even though the CCTV Sports Channel (CCTV5) is fully dedicated to live broadcasting the Chengdu Universiade, CCTV5APP is still broadcasting the three exciting matches live on the online battleground. The Tencent platform continues to provide a full range of live web and mobile broadcasts, with some matches requiring pay-per-view.
In the marquee match, Shanghai Port continued to lead the table with a narrow 2-1 home win over Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. Chengdu Rongcheng, Shandong Taishan and Wuhan Sanzhen followed in a silent battle.
Chengdu Rongcheng challenges Qingdao Hainiu away from home, live on Chengdu Radio and TV Public Channel. Chengdu Rongcheng is in the third place with 33 points, but the gap with Shanghai Shenhua is only 2 points. After the 1-2 defeat against Zhejiang at home in the last round, Sichuan Chengdu fans were agitated after the match and even appeared to smash the referee's irrational behavior. Qingdao Sea Bulls are in the bottom four with 16 points, fighting for relegation.
Shandong Taishan host Meizhou Hakka, live on Shandong Radio and Television TV Sports Channel. Shandong Taishan, led by South Korean manager Choi Kang-hee and featuring former Belgian international Fellaini and new and old national team players, has shaken off the shadow of the early-season investigation and jumped up to fourth in the standings. Meizhou Hakka are 12th with 19 points and are in a fair position for relegation.
CCTV5APP will broadcast the following three matches live:
Wuhan Three Town challenge Zhejiang team on the road, Wuhan Radio and Television Culture and Sports Channel live broadcast. Wuhan Sanzhen has a luxurious lineup with strong foreigners, but the initial performance was poor. Recently, they have won consecutive matches and are ranked fourth with 30 points. Zhejiang shook off their slump to rank seventh with 28 points.
Beijing Guoan hosts Henan, live on Beijing Radio and TV Sports and Leisure Channel. Guoan has many foreign aiders and new and old national team players, but their performance is low this season. Henan is ranked 11th with 19 points and is under little relegation pressure.
Nantong Zhiyun will challenge Changchun Yatai on the road. Nantong Zhiyun is in the bottom three with 14 points, and the relegation situation is worrying. Changchun Yatai has 27 points and ranks 9th, in a state of no desire.
Who will have the last laugh in tonight's five Super League matches? Let's wait and see!
