Following that crucial win, the relegation situation changed dramatically, with the score line jumping up. Qingdao West Coast and Meizhou Hakka slipped into the relegation abyss, both with 13 points. Meanwhile, Wuhan Sanzhen is barely breathing with 18 points after consecutive defeats, and is in the same boat as the relegated teams. The difference in points is negligible, and the relegation army's ranking changes every round like a shocking wave, which is hard to predict. Such a fierce competition may not be settled until the season finale.
On the other side of the field, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers turned the tables on the newly promoted Shenzhen Xinpengcheng by a score of 3-0, ushering in their first home win. Shenzhen Xinpengcheng suffered a defeat, and two players left the field with red color, so the future is worrying. Facing the upcoming away game against Cangzhou Lions, this game is a matter of life and death for the relegation, a win can be a 6-point gift, and vice versa, the pressure will be huge.
On June 30th, five more exciting battles will be staged. Changchun Yatai will face Guoan Qingdao Hainiu, and Meizhou Hakka will face Henan Jiuzhu Dukang, two direct relegation battles that will surely be sparks. The Beijing-Lu duel between Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan is a six-point battle for the throne. Chengdu Rongcheng versus Cangzhou Lions, Qingdao West Coast versus Shanghai Shenhua, these two matchups are not only about the title race, but also about the relegation fate line, which is destined to be dramatic.
