The Chinese Super League (CSL) has been dominated by Shenhua this season, as the team has won two matches in a row to maintain their lead at the top of the table.
In the first match of the weekend, Shenhua defeated Guangzhou Evergrande 2-1 at home. The victory came after a hard-fought battle against a strong opponent, and it was a reminder that Shenhua is still one of the strongest teams in the league.
In the second match of the weekend, Shenhua faced Shanghai SIPG at home once again. This time, however, they were able to secure a much easier win, thanks to a late goal from Wuhan Zall's Zhang Jike. Despite the easy win, Shenhua will be aware of the importance of every game in the CSL title race.
With just three games remaining in the season, Shenhua now leads the CSL standings with 44 points, seven more than second-place Beijing Guoan. However, there are still several teams in contention for the title, including Shanghai SIPG, Tianjin Teda, and Jiangsu Suning, all of whom have been close to catching up to Shenhua in recent weeks.
Despite the pressure of being one of the favorites to win the CSL title, Shenhua remains focused on their goals. They know that every point they can get will be crucial in securing their place at the top of the table, and they are determined to continue performing at their best until the end of the season.
