Beijing Guoan's quest for a Chinese Super League top-three spot hit a roadblock Friday after a 0-0 stalemate against Zhejiang Pro. Despite dominating possession and creating 18 shots, Guoan couldn't convert – leaving them 9 points behind third-placed Chengdu Rongcheng with dwindling matchdays. 💔
Rollercoaster of Emotions
The game delivered nail-biting moments: Cao Ziming's early 1v1 miss, Zhang Yuning's open-goal heartbreak (denied by a last-ditch block!), and a chaotic free-kick sequence that saw the ball ricochet off the post. Tempers flared in the 88th minute when Zhang received a straight red for elbowing – capping off Guoan's night of frustration. 🔴
What's Next?
With Chengdu Rongcheng holding a game in hand, Beijing's margin for error shrinks dramatically. Meanwhile, Friday's other results saw Tianjin Jinmen Tiger climb the table with a 1-0 win over Wuhan Three Towns. Will Guoan regroup or fade? Stay tuned! 🔥
