Qingdao has been struggling in the CSL (Chinese Super League) this season. The team lost two consecutive matches against powerful opponents, which has greatly impacted their league status.
The first match was against Guangzhou Evergrande, one of the most dominant teams in the CSL. Despite Qingdao's best efforts, they were unable to hold onto the lead and ended up losing 2-1. This defeat was particularly hard for Qingdao as it marked their first loss at home this season.
In the second match, Qingdao faced another strong opponent, Shanghai Shenhua. Again, they failed to find the back of the net and lost 1-0. This result left them with just three points from six games, putting them in a very difficult position in the league table.
These losses have had a significant impact on Qingdao's chances of securing a playoff spot in the CSL. With only a few games remaining in the season, they need to start winning more matches if they want to avoid relegation to the Chinese Second Division next year.
It is clear that Qingdao needs to turn things around soon or risk missing out on a spot in the playoffs altogether. They will be hoping that some positive results can come their way in the coming weeks, but it won't be easy given their current form.
