Dalian returned to its home stadium for the second phase of the 2022 CSL season and created good chances in the opening minutes, but it was the Shanghai team that broke the deadlock in the 19th minute when Dalian defender Wang Xianjun failed to clear a loose ball outside the box, giving Lyu Wenjun the chance to send the ball into the bottom corner.

In the second half, Dalian leveled the score 15 minutes as Lin Liangming fired home from inside the box. Dalian secured a 1 -- 1 draw in the first home game of the CSL's second phase thanks to eight saves from goalkeeper Zhang Chong.

In Guangzhou, the first half remained goalless between Guangzhou City and Wuhan Three Towns until Brazilian striker Davidson put Wuhan ahead in the 51st minute with a solo run.

Xie Pengfei added another in the 74th minute after a cross from Deng Hanwen, while Ademilson made it 3 -- 0 just before time to give Wuhan their eighth win in a row. Wuhan is now leading the CSL standings with 31 points.

In the day's only other game, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers hosted Shandong Taishan at a neutral stadium in Haikou, Hainan Province, where Brazilian forward Cryzan scored the only goal for Shandong in their 1 -- 0 win.
