Neither team was able to break the deadlock in a tightly contested match. However, Kunshan earned three points with a brilliant kill in the battle for the top spot, making it two sweeps over their rivals in the season. With the win, Kunshan moved into second place in the standings with 37 points, four points ahead of Qingdao Hainiu in third place. Despite the defeat, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu remains in sixth place with 28 points. Meanwhile, in another key matchup, Nantong Zhiyun faced Liaoning Shenyang City, who are committed to relegation. In this match, foreigner Correa scored two goals in the 20th and 46th minutes, while Lei Wenjie added the icing on the cake in the 76th minute to give Nantong Zhiyun an easy 3-0 win. With these two goals, Correa returned to the top of the scorer list.
With this win, Nantong Zhiyun reached 39 points and continue to lead the table. It is worth noting that Nantong Zhiyun is currently 10 points ahead of the fourth place, which means that they have at least 3 matches of margin for error on their way to the Super League, a lead that is actually quite substantial. Moreover, according to the current development trend, their lead could be further extended. In other words, Nantong Zhiyun may lock up a ticket to the Super League ahead of schedule. Although Liaoning Shenyang City is coached by the experienced Duan Xin, and has recently brought in former international soccer player Xiao Zhi and other strong players to strengthen their lineup, and even snatched a point from Kunshan in the last round, they were unable to win again against Nantong Zhiyun. After the match, Liaoning Shenyang City ranked 17th with 9 points.
In the other match, promoted Qingdao Fanghuadao beat Beijing Beitian University 2-1 with goals from Charlton and Wang Long. After five rounds of undefeated, Qingdao Fanghuadao quietly moved up to the eighth place in the table with 22 points.
