2 – 3
“Jhonder Cádiz capitalised within three minutes of kick-off to hand Wuhan Three Towns a dream start, giving the hosts exactly the platform they wanted at home.”
Pivotal“Fang Jingqi turned the ball into his own net to level at 1-1, an unfortunate defensive error that proved to be the match's turning point — erasing Wuhan's lead and handing Shanghai Port the momentum they needed.”
Pivotal“Prince Ampem gave Shanghai Port the lead for the first time, converting with his left foot just five minutes after the equaliser to swing the match decisively in the visitors' favour.”
Pivotal“Ampem doubled his tally four minutes later to make it 1-3, completing a stunning seven-minute passage of play in which Shanghai Port had gone from level to two goals clear.”
Pivotal“Antoine Leautey, who had been booked just four minutes earlier for dissent, pulled one back for Wuhan to make it 2-3, assisted by substitute Wei Long, briefly threatening a dramatic finale.”

Outstanding performance
Shanghai Port•MidfielderShanghai Port arrived at Wuhan and absorbed an early setback before turning this contest completely on its head in a breathless second-half spell. Jhonder Cádiz gave the hosts a third-minute lead that lasted until the 50th minute, when an own goal from Fang Jingqi levelled matters and opened the door for the visitors. What followed was a 14-minute burst of ruthlessness from Shanghai Port: Prince Ampem struck twice in quick succession — at 55 and 59 minutes — to make it 1-3, and the game looked done. Wuhan's Leonardo briefly threatened a comeback with a goal of his own around the hour mark before being booked for his celebrations, while substitute Antoine Leautey pulled one back in the 75th minute to set nerves jangling, but Shanghai Port held firm. The statistics underline just how comprehensively the visitors controlled proceedings — 58 percent possession, 490 passes to Wuhan's 351, 21 tackles, and a dominant rating of 69 — yet Wuhan's six shots on target and three big chances created showed they were never fully out of the contest. For Shanghai Port, the three points consolidate their position in the upper tier of the Super League standings; for Wuhan, hovering in eleventh, this was a frustrating night that summed up their inconsistency this season.
