Beijing time on June 29th, the 7th round of the first stage of the Chinese Super League, the Shanghai Bund Derby, Shanghai Haigang vs. Shanghai Shenhua! Today is different from the past. Without many big-name foreign aids such as Oscar , the situation of the harbor is very bad. After six rounds, it is only ranked ninth. On the other hand, Shenhua, although there are not many foreign players, under the leadership of Wu Jingui , tops the standings. If you win this game, you will reach the top spot. For now, Shenhua is definitely better than Haigang in all aspects. The former also defeated the latter 2-0 in the first round, so the balance of victory is biased towards Shenhua. Of course, Haigang is not completely without opportunities. If it can score first, the probability of winning is still not small.
Let’s talk about this focus match. Shenhua scored its first goal less than three minutes after coming up. Zhu Jianrong volleyed from the left side of the penalty area and hit the side net. Harbor's counterattack, Lu Wenjun created a corner kick. The corner kick was sent to the penalty area and was resolved by the Shenhua defender. Ma Zhen made a big kick error. Haigang got the ball back and reorganized the offensive. Shenhua fought hard with high pressure. In the 12th minute, Zhu Jianrong's shot went wide of the post. Less than 2 minutes later, Cao Yunding hit the goal from the top of the arc, which was extremely threatening, but still nothing.
Harbor had the advantage in possession of the ball, but could not reach the opponent's penalty area and could not form a shot. Shenhua used defense to counterattack and high-speed offensive, constantly testing Yan Junling . Shenhua broke the deadlock in the 19th minute. Wang Shenchao made a mistake in stopping the ball and was hit back. Zhu Jianrong finally seized the opportunity and scored from the left side of the penalty area with a sweep shot from the far corner.
The lagging Haigang increased its aggressiveness. In the 26th minute, it received a well-positioned free kick on the left side of the front court. It was sent to the front of the penalty area and was cleared by Shenhua with a header. In the 30th minute, Harbor's corner kicks continued to come, but the effect was also not good. I have to say that Shenhua's defense was really good. The lowest number of goals conceded in the league was not blocked. Haigang did not give up and continued to create corner kicks. Feng Jin volleyed Mentai Zheng but Ma Zhen caught it with both hands. Shenhua's attack, Zhu Jianrong's head shot was resolved by Yan Junling. Haigang took the absolute initiative, but could not score despite gaining the upper hand. Although Shenhua did not have much possession of the ball, they counterattacked sharply and posed a great threat.
In the second half, Wu Jingui replaced Zhu Jianrong, who played well, with Liu Ruofan, maintaining sufficient physical fitness and allowing the counterattack to continue at a high speed, while Leco stayed put. The seaport was bombarded indiscriminately, and Shenhua counterattacked in an orderly manner. In the 53rd minute, Bassogo once again wasted the opportunity, and the semi-single ball was saved by Yan Junling.
In the 55th minute, Paulinho made Bi Jinhao 's handball . The referee refused to give a penalty kick after listening to var, which made the Harbor side very dissatisfied. Famous mouthpiece Miao Yuan said: This kind of ball is so close that there is no time to react. There is no obvious unnatural opening of the arms to block the path of the ball, so there is no need to blow. Li Haixin is still stable.
In the 59th minute, Bassogo made an own goal from Li Shen-won , but it was offside, so the goal was invalid. Then Liu Ruofan's headbutt hit the crossbar, and Haigang escaped again. Shenhua's offense did not stop, Peng Xinli shot high in the small penalty area. Harbor was a bit confused during this period, but luckily, otherwise it would have been at least three goals behind.
Then Shenhua captain Wu Xi retired due to injury, Sun Shilin appeared. Sun Shilin performed well when he came up. Although it was a passive substitution, I have to say that Wu Jingui was really good. Several substitutions had good results, and he completely defeated the opposite foreign coach Leko.
In the 75th minute, Liu Ruofan was tripped by Lu Wenjun in the penalty area. The referee looked at var and awarded a penalty kick. At the same time, Zhu Jianrong and Shenhua assistant coach were given a yellow card. This was a bit of a "compensation" for Haigang. Zhu Chenjie missed the penalty kick, and Yan Junling made another contribution. Without this national goalkeeper, there would be a tragedy in the harbor.
In the 85th minute, N'Diaye missed the opportunity to tie the game. He failed to grasp the empty goal, but Li Yunqiu had a handball first. The referee looked back at the var and awarded a penalty kick. N'Diaye completed the redemption and equalized with a penalty shot. In the remaining time, neither side had a particularly good chance to score. In the end, the two sides shook hands and made a draw, 1-1, with one point each.
Haigang can get the points. I really want to thank Yan Junling. Let's go back to the locker room and give him a kiss. Without him, Haigang will be destroyed. Lecco breathed a sigh of relief. The get out of class could end later. At the same time, Oscar's price was going to increase. With him or without him, it would be a completely different team. There was a world of difference. Shenhua lost three points, which was a pity, but it still topped the standings, leading Wuhan Three Towns html by 21 points with one game more.
