Last Saturday night, history was made at the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center as a record-breaking 60,396 fans packed the stadium for the Su Super League game between Nanjing and Suzhou. This impressive turnout shattered the previous record of 43,617, set just six days earlier in a match between Suzhou and Yangzhou.
Heading into the game, Nanjing was positioned strongly in fourth place with 10 points, while Suzhou, just four points adrift, was keen to prove their mettle. Both teams showcased aggressive attacking play, fueling the excitement throughout the match. However, despite the intense action, neither side managed to score, resulting in a goalless 0-0 draw—the first such outcome in the league since it kicked off in May.
