In the latest fixture, the Barracuda Bay Stadium in Dalian saw a historic breakthrough, pushing the attendance of the Central League to a peak of 56,595. But behind this brilliance, Dalian Yingbo Football Club suffered a mishap as a strong counter-attack by Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Team prevented them from extending their lead, and the battle for the overtaking of the team remains in doubt. Although Dalian Yibo has been in good form recently, they have only won one and drawn two of their last three matches, which makes people question whether they are intentionally "putting on the brakes".
Nonetheless, Dalian Yibo still has seven league matches to play this season, three of which will be played at their own home ground, and the possibility of setting a new attendance record in the Central League still exists. Currently, Dalian Yibo is gaining momentum and the probability of overtaking them is rising.
Looking ahead, Dalian Yingbo will face off with Shanghai Jiading Huilong in the final round, which will be a home game. If the suspense can be extended to the final round, the Barracuda Bay Stadium may once again see a moment of glory. However, for the fans, this kind of tense and exciting wait may be accompanied by risk, while locking up the victory in advance seems to be more prudent.
It is worth mentioning that Dalian Yingbo's next home game will be against Nanjing City on October 12, which is the 27th round of the season. Currently, Dalian Yibo has a five-point lead over third-place Guangzhou. If it can get all three points in these three rounds, Dalian Yibo is expected to realize overtaking in the 27th round in advance. At that time, if it can once again set a new attendance record in China A-League, it will undoubtedly become a highlight of this season.
