Hey football fans! ⚽️ In a day full of heart-stopping action, Beijing Guoan extended their unbeaten run with a 2-1 win over Yunnan Yukun at the iconic Workers Stadium in Beijing. Despite falling behind thanks to Yunnan forward Ye Chugui, Guoan turned the game around in style. Fabio Abreu equalized in the 55th minute from a clever pass by Zhang Yuning, and soon after, Zhang Xizhe converted a penalty to seal the win. This match also marked Guoan's 400th appearance at the stadium, pushing them back to the top of the CSL standings on goal difference.
Meanwhile, the two-time defending champs Shanghai Port added to the excitement with a late winner against Shenzhen Peng City. Li Ning set the tone in the ninth minute, but it was Li Xinxiang’s stunning long-range strike in the 63rd minute that revamped the game. A brilliant finish by Leonardo in the 77th minute completed the comeback, extending Port's unbeaten run to seven games even as they sit at fourth place. Shenzhen, on the other hand, suffered their third consecutive defeat.
The action didn’t stop there. Shandong Taishan had a rollercoaster match at Henan, where a two-goal lead slipped away to settle for a 2-2 draw. And in another nail-biter, Dalian Yingbo edged past Zhejiang 1-0 with a well-timed header from Cephas Malele, boosting them into the top ten and ending Zhejiang's three-game unbeaten streak.
