Shaanxi Union Dominate Shenzhen Juniors in 3-0 League One Victory

Xi'an, July 25, 2026 – Shaanxi Union delivered a commanding performance at the Shaanxi Province Stadium, sweeping aside Shenzhen Juniors with a comprehensive 3-0 win in the Chinese Football League 1. The result keeps the home side firmly in the promotion chase as the season approaches its critical phase.

From the first whistle, Shaanxi Union imposed their tempo, pressing high and moving the ball quickly through midfield. The breakthrough came in the 17th minute when winger Wang Zihao collected a pass from Mohamed Sylla and curled a brilliant shot into the top corner from 20 yards. The goal set the tone for a dominant first half.

Relentless Attack Pays Off

Shaanxi doubled their lead just before the interval. A well-worked corner routine saw center-back Liu Jun rise highest to head home from close range, leaving the Shenzhen goalkeeper rooted to his line. The second half followed a similar pattern, with Shaanxi continuing to create chances. In the 68th minute, striker Yin Hongyu capped a fine team move by tapping in from a low cross by full-back Zhao Ming.

Despite the scoreline, Shenzhen Juniors showed glimpses of quality, particularly through midfielder Li Wei, but they lacked the cutting edge in the final third. Their best chance came in the 52nd minute when a long-range effort sailed just over the bar.

Promotion Race Heats Up

The victory moves Shaanxi Union to third place in League 1, level on points with second-placed Qingdao Hainiu, with a game in hand. The team's attacking form has been impressive – they have now scored 12 goals in their last four home matches. For Shenzhen Juniors, the loss keeps them in mid-table, but they remain close enough to threaten the top six if they can find consistency.

Shaanxi manager Jiang Chen praised his side's intensity after the match: "We knew Shenzhen would be difficult to break down, but the early goal opened the game for us. The boys executed the game plan perfectly." Shaanxi next travel to face Shanghai Jiading Huilong, while Shenzhen host Heilongjiang Ice City.
