The Shanghai derby, which has been described as "the most intense", ended in an unexpected drama. Shenhua and Harbor in Dalian, Zhu Jianrong and N'Diaye scored respectively, and finally drew 1-1. Behind the scoreline, what made the match even more unforgettable was what happened in the final stages of the match. Shenhua and Seaport each had a penalty kick opportunity, but the results were very different, and these two penalty kicks became the key turning point of the game.
Seaport, who have been stumbling in the early part of the season, sent out a double foreigner to partner their attacking line, while Shenhua countered with Bassogo and Zhu Jianrong teaming up. Wu Jingui intended to counter the yet-to-be-fully-adapted Leko through defensive counter-attacks. For most of the game, Director Wu had a firm grip on the rhythm of the game - efficiency. Despite Harbour's overall lead in possession, corners and passes, it was Shenhua who broke the deadlock first. Cao Yunding's precise back pass, Basogo's quick reaction after his one-two was parried, and Zhu Jianrong's calmly adjusted shot exhausted international goalkeeper Yan Junling.
In fact, had it not been for Yan's excellent play and Shenhua's bad luck, the suspense of the match could have been over long ago. Bassogo's one-two was pounced on, Liu Ruowan vanadium's header was denied by the crossbar, and Li Shenyuan's oolong was nullified due to Wang Yi's offside....... As long as Wu Jingui's team could capitalize on one of their chances, the seaport was virtually impossible to fend off. Towards the end of the game, Shenhua had another crucial penalty kick opportunity to decide the game: Liu Ruofan vanadium broke into the penalty area and was tripped by Lu Wenjun after a succession of crosses, and the referee awarded a penalty kick after a VAR tip-off. Unfortunately, Zhu Chenjie's shot was miraculously parried by Yan Junling, and the Shenhua player's follow-up shot was also deflected, and it seemed that from that moment on, the balance of the game began to tilt towards the harbor.
Despite dominating the stats all over the pitch, Seaport lacked too many chances. Then, Seaport created a handball by Li Yunqiu through a cross from the side, and the referee pointed to the 12-yard spot again after VAR confirmation. Ndiaye, who wears Harbour's No. 10 jersey, sent the ball into the top corner, and Shenhua goalkeeper Ma Zhen was unable to keep it out despite his best efforts. Wu Jingui almost got three points, but in the end, only one point, and the field side of the anxious Lecco, finally in this moment of relief.
