In the 18th round, Shanghai Seaport faced Chengdu Rongcheng in the Dalian Sports Center Stadium. After the match, Shanghai Harbour Team won 3-0 and reached 34 points, moving up to the third place in the table, while Chengdu Rongcheng failed to win for two consecutive rounds. After the match, Chengdu Rongcheng's head coach Xu Zhengyuan appeared in the press conference.
Seo Jung-won lamented at the conference, "We feel very sorry for today's match, overall. As I said before, the team is facing a lot of challenges at the moment, and in sports, insufficient training often leads to player injuries. I think we should prepare for the game in the shortest possible time. In today's game, all the players gave their best, but due to the fact that we were unable to concentrate on training for a long period of time, and due to the fact that we play a lot of away games, the players traveled by plane for a long period of time, which increased the risk of fatigue and injuries. However, we will take each of the next matches seriously and gradually rebuild the team's self-confidence."
Talking about his feelings about the game, player Kim Dang-woo said, "During the game, our technical and tactical execution was poor, and after conceding the first goal, the team was not in good shape and appeared to be a bit impatient, which led to the subsequent consecutive loss of points, and ultimately led to the loss of the game."
