In round 24 of the competition, Qingdao and Shenzhen faced off in what was a crucial match for both teams' survival hopes.
For Qingdao, this match was particularly significant as they had already secured their place in the next round of the competition, but Shenzhen were still fighting for their lives at the bottom of the table. The match was expected to be a closely contested affair, with both teams having strong performances throughout the season.
As the match got underway, it was clear that both teams were determined to secure a victory and move on to the next round of the competition. The first half saw some high-intensity action, with both teams creating chances and putting pressure on each other. However, neither team could find the breakthrough and the match ended goalless.
In the second half, the pressure began to mount on Qingdao, who found themselves struggling to create any meaningful attacks.
