Shanghai bring pressure to Dalian in CWSL champion-fighting

Xinhua, September 25, 2016 Adjust font size:

Tang Jiali's two goals helped the visiting Shanghai grab a 3-2 victory over Jiangsu in the 11th round of the Chinese Women's Super League (CWSL) on Sunday, bringing pressure to the leaders Dalian, who suffered a 3-1 defeat to Changchun.

Shanghai's Zhang Jieli broke the deadlock in the 17th minute, but Jiangsu managed to equalize the score with Zhai Qingwei's follow shot just five minutes later. Tang Jiali managed to put Shanghai in the leading position again before the end of the first half.

Tang scored one more goal in the second half to enlarge the gap, and Xu Yanlu's score was not enough for Jiangsu to earn a tie nor a point.

Dalian suffered the season's first loss but a vital one as they lost to the host team Changchun 3-1. After the loss, Dalian still topped the CWSL list, but the follower Shanghai shared the same point after today's victory.

In other two matches, Shandong beat Chinese Army 3-2 and Beijing beat Tianjin 5-2. With three rounds left, Chinese Army became the first team to relegate to the second tier league with no points in hand. Endit
