The Chinese Super League served up nail-biting action this weekend as Shanghai Shenhua clung to their top-spot lead while Qingdao Hainiu deepened Cangzhou's misery. Let’s break down the highlights! 🚨
In a heart-stopper at Shenhua’s home ground, Chengdu Rongcheng shocked fans with an early own goal by Jiang Shenglong off Romulo da Silva’s corner. But Yu Hanchao and Cephas Malele teamed up for a slick equalizer just 12 minutes later ⚡. Chengdu nearly stole the win after halftime, but Tim Chow’s header was ruled offside – talk about a rollercoaster! 🎢
Meanwhile, Qingdao Hainiu delivered a masterclass in efficiency, with Diego Lopes netting a lightning-fast goal just 120 seconds into their match against Cangzhou. The 1-0 result extends Cangzhou’s winless streak to NINE games – their fans might need some extra coffee this Monday ☕.
