The Chinese Super League (CSL) witnessed two pivotal clashes that have reshuffled the title race this Friday night. Chengdu Rongcheng delivered a stunning performance, defeating the long-standing leaders Shanghai Port with a 3-1 victory on their home turf.
Meanwhile, Shanghai Shenhua, who had been trailing in second place, staged a sensational comeback against Henan FC, winning 2-1. Nemanja Covic's early goal put Shenhua behind just after the hour mark, but Joao Teixeira quickly leveled the score with a well-placed long-range shot. In the dramatic 89th minute, veteran Wu Xi sealed the win with a golden goal from a corner, marking his sixth goal of the season and setting a new personal record.
With only two rounds left in the season, Shenhua now lead Shanghai Port by a single point, taking control of the two-horse race for the CSL title. These results have intensified the competition, promising an exciting finish to the campaign.
