In a tense and exciting soccer battle, Sichuan Jiu Niu managed to turn the tables on Liaoning Shenyang City with a crucial goal on the second day of the tournament, thus looking to sweep the title in the final game of the season. Meanwhile, the fierce competition between Shijiazhuang and Qingdao West Coast has put Sichuan Jiuiu Niu eight points ahead of Qingdao West Coast, and with only two rounds left to go before the championship, it seems to have locked up the victory two rounds ahead of schedule.
The match between Shijiazhuang and Qingdao West Coast was the focus of this round of the tournament, which was not only about the championship, but also about who would break the existing pattern. Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Team played at home and Shanghai Wang Di was the referee. After a scoreless first half, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu failed to convert their offense into goals in the second half, despite their dominance. Qingdao West Coast, on the other hand, seized the opportunity to score in the 90th+3rd minute with a breakaway goal by Abu. Just five minutes later, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu equalized with Zhang Chenliang scoring a crucial goal.
In the end, the two teams shook hands and Shijiazhuang Kung Fu gained a point at home, which was regretted by Qingdao West Coast, even though it was still theoretically possible to overtake them. They know that the regret of not being able to overtake them will be transformed into a stronger motivation in the next round of the tournament.
In another match, Dongguan United defeated Shanghai Jiading Huilong Dragons by a score of 1-0. The match was held at the Nanhai Sports Center in Foshan, with Tianjin Zhenwei as the referee. Neither side made any progress in the first half until the 83rd minute, when Ruan Jun broke the deadlock for Dongguan United, helping the team to win all three points at home.
Dongguan United reached 38 points, five points ahead of Yanbian Longding, basically locking up the top seven positions. Dongguan United deserved this result in their first first division season. And although Shanghai Jiading Huilong Dragons lost on the road, the fact that they were relegated early is no longer important.
Yanbian Longding defeated Guangzhou 1-0 at home. The match was played at Yanji National Fitness and Sports Center Stadium with Xi'an Mu Yuchen as the referee. Both sides exchanged attacks and defenses in the first half, but the stalemate lasted until the 85th minute, when Yang Jingfan broke the deadlock and helped Yanbian Longding score at home. Yanbian Longding moved up to 33 points and eighth place, and is expected to end up in the top ten. Guangzhou, on the other hand, lost their second consecutive game and dropped outside the top ten.
Wuxi Wuhu, on the other hand, beat Heilongjiang Bingcheng 2-1 at home. The match was held at the Wuxi New Sports Center and was enforced by Hebei referee Yan Xu. Eriks gave Heilongjiang Bingcheng the lead shortly after the match started, but Wuxi Wuhu quickly equalized and took the lead with goals from Gordic and Tang Qirun. Although Wuxi Wuhu was awarded a penalty kick in the 78th minute but missed it, they had the last laugh.
Wuxi Wuhu took all three points at home to improve to 19 points and are still trying to get off the bottom of the table despite being relegated early. If the final ranking is improved to the bottom two, it will be possible to return to the Central League next season. However, Jiangxi Lushan also scored three points in this round, and Wuxi Wuhu are still at the bottom of the table. Heilongjiang Bingcheng has been in a slump recently, with two draws and six losses in eight consecutive rounds, and their top ten position is in jeopardy.
