On the evening of the 17th, the 23rd round of the Chinese Super League ushered in a battle for the top spot. In the end, the home team Shanghai Shenhua scored three goals in a row after falling behind 0-1 and defeated Shanghai Haigang 3-1. This victory also allowed Shenhua to successfully narrow the gap between itself and Haigang to 2 points, and the battle for the top spot in the Chinese Super League became increasingly fierce.

Before this round of matches, Haigang was 5 points ahead of Shenhua. This also means that Shenhua must win to keep their hopes of winning the championship. In this regard, the team's coach Slutsky said frankly: "To win, you need courage, and you also need to see who makes fewer mistakes. One mistake may determine the direction of the entire game."

In this game, Shenhua's main right back Yang Zexiang was suspended, and the main striker Malele and foreign aid Manafa were injured and unable to play. Slutsky made some adjustments to the lineup. The Haigang team continued the regular 433 starting lineup in recent times, sending five foreign aids and Wu Lei in the midfield.

Both teams wanted to win, and the away team was the first to break the deadlock. In the 12th minute of the first half, the Harbor team sent a corner kick, and Vargas assisted Wang Shenchao and then headed in to score. However, after taking the lead, the Harbor team suffered a blow. In the 23rd minute of the game, Wei Zhen kicked Fernando's calf from behind, and the referee Ma Ning directly took out a red card and sent him off.

In the second half, Shenhua, who had the advantage in numbers, had more control over the ball. In the 79th minute, Yu Hanchao, who came on as a substitute, seized the opportunity when the Haigang team's defense line cleared the ball not far away and shot the ball to equalize the score. Not long after, Yu Hanchao rushed from the left and sent a cross pass, assisting Luis to score a goal and complete the reversal. In the injury time, Luis seized the opportunity of a single shot and scored twice, helping Shenhua lock the score at 3-1.

This victory of Shenhua team not only ended the historical winning streak of Haigang team in the Chinese Super League (16 consecutive wins), but also greatly increased their hopes of winning the championship.
