Following Chengdu's 2-1 win over Yunnan, Chongqing's 2-1 victory over Shanghai Port, and the dramatic last-minute wins by Taishan and Guoan, the latest CSL standings are as follows.

On April 21 Beijing time, the seventh round of the Chinese Super League kicked off, with five matches finishing overnight. Shenzhen fell 0-1 after a dramatic last-minute defeat by the strong Guoan, Chengdu overturned Yunnan 2-1 at home, Wuhan Three Towns neatly blanked Zhejiang 2-0, reigning champion Shanghai Port succumbed 1-2 to newly-promoted Chongqing, and Tianjin suffered a heartbreaking 1-2 reversal and last-minute loss to Taishan. Thus, the latest standings are out: Chengdu holds a 2-point lead over Chongqing to top the table, Yunnan sits fourth, and Taishan is fifth!

Shenzhen versus Guoan. Guoan, having not won in five rounds and under immense pressure, faced Shenzhen who was on a losing streak, hoping to win and rebound from the bottom. Guoan performed poorly and struggled to score, but fortunately relied on substitute star Zhang Xizhe to step up and clear the danger, unleashing a stunning long-range world-class strike to score, completing a miraculous 1-0 last-minute victory and arduously securing three points!

Chengdu versus Yunnan. Chengdu, unbeaten in six rounds as the leader, hosted Yunnan at home. The two teams were in contrasting form: Chengdu had three consecutive wins, while Yunnan had recently lost more than won. The match turned into an offensive battle, wide-open and thrilling. Yunnan scored first in the first half, taking the lead away from home. Shortly after the second half began, Chengdu scored repeatedly. Afterwards, both teams exchanged attacks but failed to score again. Ultimately, Chengdu reversed Yunnan 2-1, remaining unbeaten in seven rounds and continuing to top the standings!

Shanghai Port versus Chongqing. Shanghai Port is the defending champion, but this season, with diminished midfield control, they haven't performed too well. Hosting newly-promoted Chongqing this round, the opponent, though making their first CSL appearance, has been very strong, unbeaten in six rounds and firmly second,堪称 a super dark horse. After the match started, Chongqing actively orchestrated attacks, using a corner to create danger and scoring with a header to take the lead away from home. During stoppage time, Port's goalkeeper made a低级失误, failing to catch the球 and fumbling, Chongqing直接笑纳大礼 with a direct volley抢点 to扩大优势. In the second half, Port narrowly fought back and scored to扳回一城, but ultimately Port still lost 1-2 to Chongqing!

Tianjin versus Taishan. Tianjin, deducted significant points this season and排名垫底, faced immense relegation pressure, challenging CSL powerhouse Taishan this round. In the first half, Tianjin率先破门先声夺人. Taishan奋起直追很快助力山东破门扳平比分. Subsequently, Tianjin obtained a excellent penalty,可惜主罚打丢. After missing the penalty, they很快遭到惩罚, as Taishan seized the opportunity in the final moments to score another goal, thus completing a 2-1 reversal and last-minute victory!
