The fourth round of the Chinese Super League continued, and Shanghai Shenhua, who defeated Shandong Taishan in the last round, challenged Changchun Yatai away. Due to Serginho's suspension, Yatai's lack of core players, coupled with his recent form, is generally not favored by fans. In the whole game, Shanghai Shenhua had an absolute advantage, while the passive Yatai not only did not dominate the field, but also had continuous injuries to players in the first half, which made the whole team worse. Jiang Shenglong scored first, and then Tan Long equalized, and the two teams attacked and defended each other until the last minute of stoppage time, Teixeira hit the opponent with a heavy shot, and Shanghai Shenhua won the game 2:1 and won 4 consecutive victories!
After the opening, Shanghai Shenhua, which was fighting away, was mainly anti-guest, and the offensive end completely suppressed Changchun Yatai. In the 6th minute of the game, Cheng Changcheng was injured in the scramble, Wang Jinxian appeared urgently, and Changchun Yatai lost the general at the beginning. The dense defensive formation makes it difficult for Shenhua to make achievements in several attacks, whether it is the penetration of the middle or the back and forth of the two wings, it is basically difficult to pull out the absolute gap. Changchun Yatai used the limited number of counterattacks to threaten Shenhua's defense. In the 22nd minute, Changchun Yatai was injured again, and Rosic went off the field due to injury.
Just when Shenhua was replaced, in the 25th minute, taking advantage of the opportunity of a corner kick, Jiang Shenglong nodded the goal, and Changchun Yatai fell behind at home. After adapting to the rhythm of Shenhua, Changchun Yatai gradually found an offensive feeling, and the two teams formed a stalemate. In the 37th minute, Shenhua successfully broke the ball in the front, Guilherme crossed from the side, and Tan Long's head at the back point scored the goal, and the scores of the two teams returned to the same running line. In the 42nd minute, Yang Zexiang crossed from the side, and Andre Luis dived and shot, slightly off. In the end, the half ended with both sides scoring one goal each and the game was tied.
Throughout the first half, Shanghai Shenhua, who was fighting away, had an absolute advantage, whether it was possession, the number of threats, or the number of shots on goal, which were much higher than Changchun Yatai, which was fighting at home. In the face of dense defense, take advantage of set-piece opportunities and score first. Changchun Yatai is based on defense, and the three lines are very dense, although Shenhua has been pulling back and forth, but Yatai has always insisted on his own style of play. However, two people were injured in 22 minutes, which still brought a lot of trouble to the team, and the score was behind, which made fans a little desperate. However, Tan Long's goal, coupled with the tactical changes in the counterattack, still brought a lot of variables to the game.
After the start of the second half, Chen Yang replaced Guilherme, the big player in the frontcourt, and the team only had one foreign aid left. In the 50th minute, Manafa's shot after flashing in the penalty area was miraculously saved by the goalkeeper, and then Changchun Yatai strengthened the midfield's pressing and achieved good results. In the 57th minute, Wang Jinxian made a wonderful kick, Tan Long's head in front of the goal hit the goal again, and Bao Yaxiong made a miraculous save from close range! Shanghai Shenhua escaped! Then Slutsky made substitution adjustments, and Malele and Cao Yunding came on the field to strengthen the offensive in the front court and relieve the pressure on the back. The scene was immediate, Shanghai Shenhua had the upper hand, and Wu Xi's powerful shot from outside the penalty area was saved by the goalkeeper again!
In the 72nd minute, Chen Yang replaced Berridge, after which both sides have certain ideas about the game, although the physical fitness has declined, but the rhythm of attack and defense is not slow, Changchun Yatai has broken through Shenhua's defense line several times, and Zoe in the midfield has taken on the heavy responsibility of attack and defense, whether it is Amadou, Manafa or other domestic players, it is difficult to prevent. In the 79th minute, Andre Luis shot in front of the goal, again high over the crossbar. In the 82nd minute, Shenhua continued to form a siege in the front, and Zhu Chenjie's header hit the crossbar. In the 86th minute, Bao Yaxiong was a little reckless in attacking, and Tan Long almost killed with two consecutive kicks. In stoppage time, Berridge's header also hit the crossbar, and Teixeira inserted it in the second reading stage and scored with a powerful shot, and Shenhua stunner!
First of all, congratulations to Shanghai Shenhua, the team's performance is indeed worthy of this victory. However, Changchun Yatai also performed very well, and it is already very good to be able to play such a situation in the case of an incomplete lineup. The score of 2:1 is basically in line with the performance of both teams. However, the referee's penalty in the final stage made Yatai very dissatisfied, and the fans also complained very much, after all, there were only 7 minutes of stoppage time, and Teixeira's goal was in the 9th minute. After this goal, the referee quickly ended the game and did not even give Yatai a chance to serve.
