In the latest round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) title race, Haigang failed to secure their place at the top of the table after losing out to Tianjin Quanjian on the final day of the season.
The match between the two teams was closely contested throughout, with both sides pushing hard for a win and securing their places in the next season's competition. However, it was Tianjin who emerged victorious, thanks to a late goal from striker Wu Lei.
Haigang had been looking to clinch the title as they went into the final day of the season with a comfortable lead over Tianjin. However, their hopes were dashed when they lost 1-0 to Jiangsu Suning in the first half, leaving them with just one point to spare.
Despite the disappointment, Haigang will be proud of their efforts this season, which saw them finish runners-up in the CSL standings. The team has shown great resilience and determination throughout the season, and their fans will hope that they can build on their success and continue to fight for honours next year.
Overall, while Haigang may have missed out on the title this season, they have still achieved much and should be commended for their efforts. It remains to be seen how the club will respond to the loss, but one thing is certain - they will be back fighting for honours next season.
