On May 11, Beijing time, the second match day of the 11th round of the Chinese Super League ended all three games, and in the standings, Shanghai Shenhua, who only scored 1 point away, continued to lead, but they were once again narrowed by the team behind them. Beijing, which has won five consecutive victories, is in third, while Shandong Taishan continues to be in fifth.
In the latest end of the Beijing Guoan home match with Meizhou Hakka, Guoan conceded two goals at halftime, and Pan Ximing was sent off with a direct red card in the 73rd minute of the second half, and Guoan, who played one more person, hit 3 goals in 8 minutes, and finally reversed Meizhou Hakka 3-2 and won a wave of 5 consecutive wins. After this campaign, Guoan and SIPG, who had one game less, had 24 points, but they were third in the standings due to goal difference.
Meizhou Hakka, which suffered a tragic reversal, has no wins in 3 rounds, and the points are still stuck at 8 points, temporarily ranking third from the bottom of the standings, with the same points as Qingdao Manatee and Changchun Yatai behind them.
In the game that ended earlier, Shanghai Shenhua and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers fought fiercely for 90 minutes, although Shenhua shot 13 shots and Jinmen Tigers only 3 shots, but the two sides did not make any achievements in the whole game, and finally drew 0-0. Although Shanghai Shenhua remain unbeaten with 8 wins and 3 draws and still lead the standings with 27 points, the gap between them and Shanghai Port has been narrowed to 3 points again. You must know that SIPG is still one less game, and once the make-up match with Meizhou Hakka is carried out, Shenhua's top position may be shaken.
A point from the top team is satisfying for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, who are currently sixth in the table with 15 points.
Shandong Taishan also played away from home in this round, and they were once equalized by Wuhan Three Towns after scoring the first goal, and finally Cressan scored the winner in the 59th minute to help them win 2-1 away. After this campaign, the Taishan team remained unbeaten in the last 5 rounds with 4 wins and 1 draw, and continued to rank fifth in the standings with 21 points, and they are still 6 points away from the top of the table when Shenhua only scored 1 point in this round.
Another home defeat was a bit bitter for Wuhan Three Towns, but they are ninth in the standings with 12 points, four points away from the relegation zone, and there is not much relegation pressure for the time being.
There is also a relegation focus battle on the last match day of this round, Shenzhen Xinpeng City hosts Qingdao West Coast. However, regardless of the outcome of this match, the bottom three teams in the standings will not change in the standings.
