In the second round of the Chinese Super League against Shenzhen, at the crucial moment when he played one less and was equalized by his opponent, Wu Lei scored his first goal of the season!
In the first round of the new season against Wuhan Three Towns, Wu Lei, who switched to playing as a right winger, failed to score, but twice provided assists for Paulinho. Against Shenzhen last season, Shanghai Port scored three goals in just 24 minutes to seal the victory, while Wu Lei scored his eighth goal since returning to the Chinese Super League.
In the Chinese Super League debut of the "White Porcelain Bowl", Shanghai Port and Shenzhen played a wonderful and fierce game. Jiang Guang scored too early and left the field after making a tackle on Achimpeng at the back, but three minutes later Pinko scored his first goal in the Chinese Super League to give Harbour a 2-0 lead.
Shenzhen then attacked with all their might, and Jiang Zhipeng scored directly from a corner and then provided an assist for Achimpeng. With only six minutes left in the game, Harbour was equalised by their opponents and played one less.
At such a crucial moment, Harbour kicked a textbook counter-attack, Paulinho headed straight and Wu Lei burst into the box and pushed the goal, scoring his first goal of the season as well as the winning goal.
In the two Chinese Super League games this season, Wu Lei scored 1 goal and provided 2 assists, and gave 1 indirect assist, participating in 4 goals. Scoring the winner in the final moments, Wu Lei also broke the one-knife demons and became the number one contributor to Seaport's two-game winning streak and his first home win of the new season.
