Turning to a new game, the offensive momentum of Shanghai Hong Kong did not decrease but increased, and the second half was on fire. In the 53rd minute, Oscar suffered a heavy blow when Wu Lei was awarded a penalty kick for a foul in the penalty area by Su Yuanjie. Immediately after that, Oscar showed amazing skills and sent a subtle pass. Wu Lei took this opportunity to break through the opponent's defense with a single shot. 81 minutes later, Wang Shende had a superb assist with a header and two consecutive shots on goal. In this campaign, he contributed two assists, one point and two goals, a total of five goals, is this not enough to prove Wu Lei's outstanding performance?
The Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' defensive end was a sham, and they looked out of their depth against the strong combination of SIPG's midfield and frontline. Knowing that they are the strong contenders for the title this season, Shanghai Hong Kong need not be concerned about the match between Shanghai Shenhua and Chengdu Rongcheng. After all, they have already scored five goals, and it would be a fantasy for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers to overtake them, which they simply don't have the strength to do!
In his sports commentary, Huang Qiang said that a number of key matches in this round of the tournament should not be overlooked, with Shanghai Shenhua's clash with Chengdu Rongcheng and Shanghai's battle with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers being particularly crucial. These two matches will decide this year's championship. Obviously, the initiative for the title is in Shanghai's hands, and as long as they remain undefeated, even if Shanghai Shenhua wins, the title will still be theirs. Unless Shanghai loses to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, the chances of that happening are slim to none. Shanghai leads the standings with 78 points from 25 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses.
