Hold onto your jerseys, soccer fans! Shanghai Port just pulled off a dramatic 3-1 victory against Changchun Yatai in Friday’s Chinese Super League (CSL) clash—complete with drone interruptions 🚁, VAR drama, and a last-minute goal that sealed their rise to third place! 🌟
Game Highlights: Tech Trouble & Twists
The match hit pause in the 16th minute when a rogue drone buzzed into the stadium (yes, really!). Once play resumed, Changchun’s goalkeeper Wu Yake became a human wall—until an own goal by Abduhamit Abdugheni gifted Shanghai Port the lead. Talk about bad luck! 😬
VAR Steals the Show
Yatai thought they’d equalized with a close-range strike, but the ref waved it off after spotting a handball—thanks to VAR. Shanghai then doubled their lead with Gabriezinho’s slick edge-of-the-box finish. But Yatai fought back with a penalty converted by Ohi Omoijuanfo… only for Xu Xin to ice the game with a stoppage-time tap-in! 🎯
Standings Shake-Up
With this fourth straight win, Shanghai Port now trails leaders Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Shenhua by just one point. Saturday’s top-two showdown could reshuffle the table again—stay tuned! 🏆
