Meizhou Hakka and Zhejiang drew 0:0
-- The two promoted teams from the Central League are well acquainted with each other's coaches, and this encounter was quite sparkling. Meizhou Hakka had a fierce attack in the first half, but the opponent's goalkeeper repeatedly solved the danger. In the second half, although they continued to maintain the offensive momentum, they were unable to break the deadlock, and eventually failed to obtain three points.
Meizhou Hakka unfortunately failed to win, and despite the constant threat from the attacking end, they were never able to cross the goal line. Despite gaining a point and moving up a place to equal Shanghai Shenhua's points, the team is temporarily in fourth place due to playing one more game. Zhejiang holds on to a point and remains in sixth place in the table with 29 points.
Beijing Guoan 3:1 Hebei
-- Beijing Guoan was awarded a penalty kick in the 29th minute, and Zhang Xizhe scored to break an embarrassing streak of two consecutive goals conceded. Hebei quickly equalized but soon conceded another goal when Prince Ming scored with a header. In the 50th minute, Zhang Yuning added another goal, bringing his goal tally for the season to 11, surpassing last season's record and setting a new personal high for goals in the Chinese Super League.
Beijing Guoan took all three points to move past Shanghai Seaport and into eighth place in the Chinese Super League standings. Nevertheless, Guoan has played two more matches than Seaport, and the ranking is still unstable. Hebei continues to be at the bottom of the table with ten consecutive defeats, and with three more goals conceded in this round, the total number of goals conceded has reached 50, with as many as 30 conceded in the last six matches.
Henan Songshan Longmen 0:1 Tianjin Jinmen Tiger
-- Tianjin Jinmen Tigers took the lead just two minutes into the match with a header by Xie Weijun, which was wrongly ruled out as an oolong by Shuniqi. Henan Songshan Longmen launched a fierce attack but seemed to be in poor shape due to a long absence from the game and failed to create any clear chances.
Henan Songshan Longmen lost and did not increase its points, continuing to rank third with 30 points. This round, the top two did not win, Songshan Longmen and Shandong Taishan gap widened to 10 points, and the gap with the leader reached 14 points. Tianjin Jinmen Tiger took all three points, ranked solidly in the tenth place, no relegation worries for the time being, 12 points ahead of the relegation zone.
