Shanghai Port B continued their impressive run in the Chinese Football League 2 with a comfortable 2–0 victory over Changchun Xidu on July 18, 2026. The away side controlled proceedings at Changchun’s stadium to take all three points.

Match Overview

Shanghai Port B started the match with purpose, dominating possession and territory from the outset. Changchun Xidu sat deep, attempting to absorb pressure and hit on the counter, but Port B’s patient build-up play eventually unlocked the defence. The opening goal arrived in the 27th minute when a clever through ball split the home backline, allowing the striker to round the goalkeeper and finish into an empty net.

Changchun Xidu struggled to create clear chances in the first half, with their forwards isolated against a well-organised Port B defence. The visitors doubled their lead just before half-time, a powerful header from a corner leaving the home goalkeeper with no chance.

Second Half Control

The second half saw Shanghai Port B manage the game expertly, keeping possession and limiting Changchun to long-range efforts. The home side’s best chance came from a free-kick that curled just wide of the post. Port B were content to protect their two-goal cushion, and the match ended without further drama.

Changchun Xidu showed spirit but lacked the quality to break down a disciplined Port B side. The visitors’ midfield trio controlled the tempo, and the clean sheet was a testament to their defensive organisation.
