The 12th round of the Chinese Super League ended, and 43 goals were scored in 8 games in this round, setting a record for the most goals scored in a single round in the league. In this case, the scorer list has also changed a lot, Wu Lei, who scored twice in this round, led with an absolute lead, Wei Shihao scored 6 goals in the season and rushed to 7th, and naturalized player Alan finally squeezed into the top 20.
In Shanghai Port's 5-3 away win over Qingdao West Coast, Wu Lei once again contributed a key goal. In the 24th minute of the first half, his header broke the deadlock on the field, and after the West Coast closed the difference to one goal in the second half, it was Wu Lei who scored a goal to kill the game in the 81st minute to help the team win the game without danger. He also scored an offside goal in the game.
After scoring twice, Wu Lei's season goals have reached 14 goals, not only continuing to lead the scorer list, but also expanding the gap between him and second place to 5 goals. It is a pity that Wu Lei, who is in such a good state, missed the world preliminaries with the Thai team because of the accumulation of yellow cards.
In second place was Wu Lei's team-mate Gustavo, who also scored twice and scored two offside goals. Since this round, Gustavo has scored in six consecutive games and is tied with Shenhua's Luis for second place in the scorer list with nine goals. The total number of goals scored by Wu Lei and Gustavo alone is more than the number of goals scored by most Chinese Super League teams in the season, which shows how strong SIPG's attack power is.
In addition to Wu Lei, there is also a local player in the top 10 scorers, and he is Wei Shihao. In this round, when Chengdu Rongcheng was sent off early, Wei Shihao scored twice to help the team win 4-1. He has also been in good form of late, scoring in two consecutive games and breaking into the top 10 with six goals to finish sixth.
Also in hot form is naturalized player Alan who scored twice in the game against SIPG, and also scored in consecutive games, and his personal season goals reached 4 goals, squeezing into the top 20 scorers for the first time.
Alain's outburst was timely, and it seems that his return to the national football team is a sure thing. If Fernando is also able to return in time before the break, then with two naturalized players up front, plus Wei Shihao and Zhang Yuning, there will be a better chance of taking all three points in the crucial game against Thailand.
