A match in the 9th round of the Chinese Super League was contested, and Shanghai Port challenged Qingdao Manatee as a guest. Shanghai Port, the defending champions, are still favourites to win the title this season. In the first 7 league games, Shanghai Port has achieved an unbeaten record of 4 wins and 3 draws, and is one of the two undefeated teams in the Chinese Super League. This time, Shanghai Port went to the away team and faced Qingdao Manatee, which was facing relegation pressure. As a result, Shanghai Port created a tragedy, easily won the game, improved the unbeaten record to 8 games, and reached a total of 18 points!
In this game, Shanghai Port lined up a 433 offensive formation. The attacking trident of Wu Lei, Gustavo and Vargas combined to strike. Oscar, Xu Xin and Citadini form the 3 midfielders. Li Shuai, Wei Zhen, Jiang Guangtai and Wang Shenchao started the game at the back four. Yan Junling served as the starting goalkeeper. Lu Wenjun, Rusa, Cai Huikang and Zhang Linpeng sat on the bench and stood by.
After the start of the game, Shanghai Port, which was playing away, played very strongly, constantly suppressing Qingdao Manatee, and also scored first. Wu Lei continued his excellent form this season, opening the scoring with a solo shot, and then setting up Gustavo for another goal. Shanghai Port established a 2-goal lead early on. After Gustavo scored another goal, however, was whistled for a foul. And Oscar managed to score a beautiful long-range goal, but it was ruled offside. At half-time, Shanghai Port led by 2 goals! Shanghai Port had 72% possession in the first half, 14 shots on goal, 6 on target, and scored 2 goals. Qingdao Manatee, on the other hand, had only a pitiful 3 shots on goal in the first half and did not score.
In the second half, Shanghai Port did not mean to stop, and continued to attack, and goals continued to appear. Oscar set up Gustavo's header. Gustavo scored twice! He was so helpless in the penalty area that the Qingdao Manatee defenders couldn't do anything about it. After that, Wang Shenchao also scored and continued to expand the score. The 32-year-old Wu Lei still has sufficient physical strength in the final stage and can move forward at high speed, which gives him another chance to get a single knife, and he calmly pushes the goal to complete the brace! Wu Lei is really the only player in China. The final score was fixed at 5-0, and Shanghai Port won wildly!
It was a real game, with 5 goals scored and a total of 3 goals blown away. Wu Lei was undoubtedly the man of the match, scoring three goals alone, including two goals and one assist. Wu Lei's total goals in the league reached 9, dominating the scorer list. Being able to beat all foreign aid in the Chinese Super League with so many foreign aid strikers ranks first in the scorer list, which shows how strong Wu Lei is!
