On the night of August 16, the 13th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) was played between Shanghai Seaport and Shenzhen. In the end, Shanghai Seaport cleanly defeated Shenzhen with a score of 2-0. Reporter Liu Wenchao disclosed on his microblog that while the match was going on, player Wu Lei had successfully arrived on his flight home.
The match reached a turning point in the 56th minute when Pei Shuai had an unfortunate own goal, followed by N'Diaye's header that hit the frame of the goal in the 71st minute, and then a clever inside cut to make it 2-0. Liu Wenchao lamented on Weibo after the match, "That star has landed, and perhaps destiny is returning with it?"
According to the current "7+3" quarantine rules, if everything goes well, Wu Lei is expected to end his quarantine around August 26th and return to Shanghai Harbor to participate in the Chinese Super League in early September. According to the schedule, Wu Lei's first match after his return may be on September 3 when he challenges Henan Songshan Longmen, or on September 9 when he hosts Guangzhou City.
