The remaining matches of the first phase of the Chinese Super League are expected to kick off in mid-July. In this tense moment of preparation, Shanghai Harbour Club urgently arranged a warm-up match to face Shandong Taishan at the Yuanshen Stadium this afternoon, with a view to the players adjusting their condition for the upcoming re-start of the Chinese Super League.
It is worth noting that the match was played in a closed environment with the main international players of both teams absent for some reasons. However, Seaport took the lead with Chen Binbin's goal in the 30th minute; followed by Yang Shiyuan's goal in the 53rd minute, and finally beat Shandong Taishan by 2:0.
It is worth mentioning that after the first five rounds of the Super League, Shanghai Harbor and Shandong Taishan are leading the table in their respective divisions with three wins and two draws, accumulating 11 points.
In the upcoming Chinese Super League (CSL) restart, the first opponent of Harbour Team will be Wuhan. Surprisingly, Wuhan officially announced a major reinforcement today - 27-year-old Brazilian center forward Anderson Lopes.
Previously, Lopez played for Hokkaido Sapporo Gonzaga in Japan's J-League, where he made 14 appearances this season and scored 12 goals, placing him second in the top scorer's list, a strength that should not be underestimated.
