On December 8, a tense 31st round of China League One was played between Chengdu Rongcheng and Wuhan Sanzhen. Chengdu Rongcheng beat Wuhan Sanzhen by a narrow margin of 1-0, bringing Wuhan Sanzhen's 14-game winning streak to an abrupt end and slowing down their push for the Chinese Super League. Chengdu Rongcheng, on the other hand, showed a rebound momentum by winning three consecutive matches with this victory.
Previously, Wuhan Sanzhen led the way with 73 points from 23 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, 11 points ahead of third-placed Chengdu Rongcheng and fourth-placed Zhejiang. The team's morale is high, and a win in this match will lock up the super league spot three rounds ahead of schedule. Chengdu Rongcheng, on the other hand, has a record of 18 wins, 8 draws and 4 losses with 62 points, and its hopes of overtaking the Super League seem to be unclear.
