As the game changed, SIPG's offense increased rather than decreased, and in the second half it was on fire. In the 53rd minute, Wu Lei was fouled in Su Yuanjie's penalty area, and the referee decided to award a penalty kick, which Oscar took. Immediately after, Oscar showed a wonderful pass, Wu Lei received the ball after a single, easy to break the goal. In the 81st minute, Wang Sun's super assist allowed Wu Lei to head the ball to the goal, breaking the opponent's goal twice in a row. In this campaign, Wu Lei contributed two assists, a point, two goals, a total of five goals into the account. Such a heroic performance, can we still say Wu Lei is not great?
The Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' defense was defenseless in the face of Shanghai Hong Kong's midfield onslaught. Knowing that they have the upper hand in this season's title race, SIPG was unconcerned about the match between Shanghai Shenhua and Chengdu Rongcheng. After all, they had already scored five goals, and it would be a pipe dream for Tianjin Jinmen Tigers to overtake them, which they simply don't have the strength to do!
Huang Qiang mentioned in his sports commentary that this round of fixtures will be crucial for Shanghai Shenhua to face off with Chengdu Rongcheng, as well as for Shanghai to battle Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. The results of these two matches will decide the champion of this season. Obviously, the initiative of the championship is in Shanghai's hands. As long as they remain undefeated, even if Shanghai Shenhua wins, they will not be able to shake Shanghai's championship status. Unless Shanghai loses to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, the possibility is slim. Currently, Shanghai is leading the table with 78 points from 25 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses.
