Shandong Taishan team at home against Shenzhen Xinpeng City, this game is not only a battle for the standings, but also a battle for the fate of the two teams.
At the beginning of the game, the performance of the Taishan team made people sweat.
Playing at home, they don't seem to have recovered from the fatigue of the previous game, and the sluggish opening form allowed Shenzhen Xinpeng City to seize the opportunity. Garcia scored in the 11th minute, and Shenzhen Xinpeng City led 1-0, which made Taishan fans nervous.
But the Tarzan team is the Tarzan team after all, and they quickly adjusted their form.
The goals of Gao Zhunyi and Cressan helped the Taishan team turn the score 2-1 at half-time. In the second half, Kazaishvili scored again, and the Tarzan team led 3-1.
Team Tarzan
Although Shenzhen Xinpeng City's Dugalic pulled a goal back in the closing stages of the game, Taishan won a thrilling 3-2 victory.
Team Tarzan
This victory is of great significance to the Tarzan team.
Before the game, they had a nine-point gap to Shanghai Shenhua at the top of the table. After this victory, the Taishan team accumulated 24 points with Shanghai Port and Beijing Guoan in the first game, surpassing Chengdu Rongcheng and temporarily ranking fourth in the standings. The difference with Shenhua has also narrowed to 6 points.
But this fourth-place position of the Taishan team may not sit securely.
Because in the remaining two match days of this round, Guoan, Rongcheng and SIPG will face relegation teams respectively, they have a good chance to continue to pick up points. Therefore, if the Taishan team wants to maintain its current ranking, it needs to continue to work hard in the next games.
For the Tarzan team, maintaining the point gap to the top of the table and keeping up with the leaders is their top priority at the moment. But at the same time, they also need to be wary of those who are chasing behind them, after all, in the league, every game is crucial.
Let's talk about Shenzhen Xinpeng City, they were finally reversed with a score of 2-3 when they scored one goal, suffered three consecutive defeats, and have failed to win in 7 consecutive rounds. Although they currently sit fourth from bottom in the table with nine points, they are only one point away from the relegation zone, and the relegation situation is very serious.
Meizhou Hakka and Changchun Yatai will face Chengdu Rongcheng and Beijing Guoan at home in this round, and if there is an upset, Shenzhen Xinpeng City may slip further down the rankings. But for them, the most crucial game is the next Guangdong derby against Meizhou Hakka. The direct dialogue between the two relegation teams is undoubtedly a key battle.
If Shenzhen Xinpeng City can't end their winless streak in this relegation battle, then they are likely to fall into the relegation zone before the break. This is undoubtedly a huge blow to a promoted polo team.
Overall, the game is full of suspense and variables. The Tarzan team came back from home to win, showing their resilience and strength. Although Shenzhen Xinpeng City suffered consecutive defeats, their fighting spirit and hard work are also impressive.
In the Chinese Super League, every game is a new challenge. Whether it is a team contending for the title or a team in relegation, it needs to go all out to gain a foothold in this fierce competition.
