Today, the 29th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) started in the territory of Cangzhou Lions. Before the match, the senior management of Harbour Club descended like the god of war and injected a shot of strength into the team.
Looking back at the last away game, Seaport's defeat allowed Rongcheng to reverse the trend and put the team in an unprecedented passive position. Although they had been riding high in the early part of the season and had a firm grip on the lead, the loss in the 28th round turned Seaport from a frontrunner to a chasing pack, narrowing the gap with Shenhua to one point.
Facing the match with Cangzhou Lions in this round, Harbor's chances of winning seem to be in jeopardy. If they fail to beat their rivals and Shenhua wins in this round, then Shenhua may lift the Super League trophy one round ahead of schedule. Knowing that the pressure was on, the Harbor management came to the venue to cheer on the team. They shouted loudly, "The battle is not yet decided, what's the point of giving up? We will never give up!"
As expected, Seaport won a narrow 1-0 away win against Cangzhou Lions with Wu Lei's effort. Shenhua did not extend their advantage in this round of draws, which allowed Seaport to regain a one-point lead over Shenhua and once again hold the initiative in the final round of the title race.
