The Chinese Super League (CSL) is in its final stages, with only four rounds left to play, yet the title race and relegation are still in limbo. Although Shenzhen has already locked up the relegation spot, Dalian Ren and Nantong Zhiyun are still waiting to find out whether they can escape this calamity.
In the battle for the title, Shanghai Harbor is at the top of the table, but only nine points separate them from Shandong Taishan in this round. In view of the Harbor's recent poor form, this season's Chinese Super League title is still undecided. The matchup between Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Harbor in this round of the league will greatly affect the championship pattern in the next round.
Shandong Taishan had a chance to win all three points on the road against the weaker Dalian. However, the result of the game disappointed Shandong fans, Taishan team failed to seize the opportunity, the final 0-0 draw Dalian, only 1 point. In fact, before the match, there are many fans and media predicted that Taishan team in Dalian difficult to win, after all, the relationship between the two teams is good, Taishan team or will be in the key moment of water, to help Dalian.

In the second half, Harbour Team conceded again and finally lost 1-2 to Chengdu Rongcheng.

Shanghai Port lost again, and the main blame goes to themselves. Recently, the team has been performing abnormally, especially the backline, as the national brand of defenders, Zhang Linpeng, Jiang Guangtai, Wang Shenchao, Li Shuai and other international players, but they are defending like a blind man.

The Seaport lost 3 points again after defeating Chengdu Rongcheng on the road. Fortunately, Shandong Taishan also failed to win this round, otherwise the gap between the two teams would have been narrowed to 6 points. Next, Seaport will have to go all out and play solidly against Nantong Zhiyun and Dalian Ren to ensure the road to the championship is smooth. Otherwise, Seaport players will lose face...
