Cangzhou has won its first victory in the Chinese Super League (CSL) relegation competition, securing a crucial point against Beijing Guoan on Sunday.
The game was played at the Liuzhou Stadium and saw Cangzhou come out on top after scoring two goals in the second half to secure their first victory in the league's relegation round.
The win came as a relief for Cangzhou fans who had been waiting for this moment since the start of the season. The team had struggled with injuries throughout the campaign but have shown resilience and determination to fight back from behind.
In the previous match against Tianjin, they were defeated by a goalless draw, leaving them six points behind the bottom-placed Guangzhou Evergrande and seven points clear of the relegation zone.
However, Saturday's win against Beijing Guoan was a significant step forward for the team. It showed that they were not just a side struggling to stay in the league but one capable of competing at the highest level.
The team will now need to focus on maintaining their form in the remaining matches of the season and avoid any complacency as they aim to secure promotion to the Premier League next year. With this victory under their belt, it is likely that Cangzhou will be looking to make history and take the next step towards the Premier League.
Overall, the win against Beijing Guoan was a positive development for Cangzhou and their fans, showing that even in the toughest of circumstances, they can still rise above and achieve success.
