With a convincing 5-0 thrashing of Hebei FC on Sunday, Wuhan Three Towns kept their spotless record at home this season. Pedro Morilla’s team took the lead after goals from Marcao, Ademilson, and Nicolae Stanciu, and then Davidson added two more in the second half to make the score look even better. The Hubei-based team now sits atop the Chinese Super League standings and has already cemented its title with 16 out of a possible 18 points. Next up comes a test against a team that was humiliated 6-0 in their sole prior meeting on June 7 and poses a formidable opponent. The visitors on Thursday are looking for a spirit-boosting victory ahead of their top-of-the-table match against Shanghai Shenhua three days later.
For the first time since January, Guangzhou was unable to clinch back-to-back victories after being defeated 2-1 by Shanghai Shenhua on Sunday. Haijian Wang and Cao Yunding’s goals put Liu Zhiyu’s team two goals down after 70 minutes, but Wei Shihao’s goal nine minutes from time halved the gap. Although the South China Tigers are still in 16th place in the league rankings, they can find comfort in the fact that they are only one point away from safety.
