Shanghai Port FC are on fire! 🔥 They clinched their ninth straight win in the Chinese Super League (CSL) on Tuesday, defeating Wuhan Three Towns 2-0 in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province.
From the first whistle, Shanghai Port showed they're not messing around. Just 14 minutes in, Matheus Jussa made a slick interception in midfield and released a perfect through ball to Oscar 🎯. The Brazilian maestro weaved between defenders and coolly slotted it home, putting Port ahead 1-0.
The excitement didn't stop there. In the 36th minute, Matias Vargas took advantage of a defensive mishap when Deng Hanwen missed a clearance. Vargas seized the moment and blasted the ball into the net, doubling the lead to 2-0! 💥
Wuhan Three Towns thought they had a goal just two minutes later when Tao Qianglong volleyed in, but VAR ruled it offside 🙅♂️. Talk about a rollercoaster of emotions!
This victory keeps Shanghai Port firmly at the top of the CSL table, five points clear of city rivals Shanghai Shenhua (who have a game in hand). Shenhua will host Meizhou Hakka on Wednesday, so the race is heating up! 🏆
