Chinese Super League situation: Chengdu Rongcheng still leads by 14 points despite 5 consecutive draws! Zheng Zhi's team rises to 2nd, with 5 key matches in the next round.

On August 2, Beijing time, all 8 matches of the 21st round of the Chinese Super League concluded. After this round, the standings have undergone significant changes.

The leader Chengdu Rongcheng, despite still failing to win this round, drew 1-1 at home against Wuhan Three Towns, suffering their fifth consecutive draw. However, because Chongqing Tonglianglong lost to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng this round, Rongcheng's points advantage has not narrowed.

With Qingdao West Coast defeating Qingdao Hainiu 2-0 in the derby this round, Zheng Zhi's team thus surpassed Chongqing Tonglianglong to move into second place in the standings. West Coast, with 31 points, is now 14 points behind leader Rongcheng.

Chongqing Tonglianglong and Dalian Yingbo both have 29 points, temporarily ranking 3rd and 4th respectively. Yunnan Yukun, Shandong Taishan, Beijing Guoan, Liaoning Ironman, Zhejiang, and Shenzhen Xinpengcheng are ranked 5th to 10th.

In terms of relegation, with Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Port both losing this round, they have also been drawn into the relegation battle. Since Tianjin Jinmen Tiger staged a big comeback against Yunnan Yukun this round, and Wuhan Three Towns also held Rongcheng to a draw to earn 1 point, Shanghai Port and Shanghai Shenhua are only 4 points ahead of relegation-zone team Wuhan Three Towns.

Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, with their big comeback this round, have won four consecutive matches and are now 2 points above the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Qingdao Hainiu has suffered four consecutive defeats, with 14 points dropping to the bottom of the standings.
