On the evening of March 30, 2024, Beijing time, Shanghai Port hosted Henan in the third round of the Chinese Super League. The two teams were tied 0-0 in the first half, but in the first half, the referee blew away 3 goals and 1 single knife for both teams in a row. In the second half, Wu Lei opened the scoring in the 56th minute, and Wang Shenchao's goal in the 74th minute was blown away again. In the 80th minute, the harbor abandoned its martial arts and replaced a number of main players, which led to a decline in strength and was equalized by the Henan team. However, in the final stage, Zhang Linpeng and Vargas helped Harbour to kill their opponents. In the end, the score of 3-1 was maintained to the end, and Zhang Linpeng fought for himself at the moment when the national team had an ideological crisis.
In the past two seasons, Henan team has been more experienced in playing Harbour, the two teams have met in the previous three times, and Harbour has lost twice, such as the last meeting, which was the 24th round of the league last season, when Henan defeated Harbour 3-1 at home. However, Wu Lei did not appear in that game. And today Wu Lei is on the field, so he will not allow the harbor to lose again.
The most interesting thing about this game was not the Harbour team's attack and victory, but the game was blown away with a total of three goals and one one-on-one goal. Of course, this is not to say that there is a problem with the referee, but after a brief break between the two teams, it seems that both teams have not been able to run much forward.
For example, Wu Lei, who received a pass from his teammates in the 11th minute and scored a single goal, but unfortunately, the ball was offside and was eventually blown off. Subsequently, Henan's foreign player Achimpeng also won a one-handed goal, but it had been whistled for offside before the shot.
In the 38th minute of the first half, Harbour player Yang Shiyuan scored in a chaotic battle, but the goal was still offside. In the 47th minute of the second half, Wu Lei's second goal was blown off, and this goal was still caused by offside. This offside goal is already an "offside hat trick" won by Shanghai Port in this game.
However, Wu Lei is still Wu Lei in the end, and he can always seize the opportunity after wasting at least three good opportunities. In the 56th minute, Wu Lei stopped playing running this time, and he received a mistake from the Henan goalkeeper in the penalty area, so as to get a chance to hit the goal, and finally took a 1-0 lead.
Interestingly, the Shanghai Port team's offside goal record is still being broken, in the 70th minute, Wang Shenchao scored, but the goal was still blown off due to offside. Still on social platforms, some fans have almost collapsed, shouting that the Harbour players suddenly "collectively don't know how to run".
In the 80th minute, the harbor thought that the overall situation had been decided, and immediately replaced three people in a row, including Wu Lei, Feng Jin and other main forces. But this substitution gave the Henan team a chance. In the 84th minute, two foreign players of the Henan team scored an equalizing goal with a tenacious fighting spirit.
However, just when Shanghai Port would create two consecutive rounds of games without a win against Henan, Zhang Linpeng stepped forward and headed in to help Port overtake the score, and then Vargas scored another goal. Harbour won the game in a stunning. It was not an easy victory, but it was dramatic.
