Zhongxinglong FC Crush Zhen Jiang Longren 4-0 to Go Top of Foshan Xijia

Foshan, China – 23 July 2026 – Zhongxinglong FC delivered a ruthless performance on the road, dismantling Zhen Jiang Longren FC 4-0 to move to the summit of the Foshan Xijia league table. The visitors were in complete control from first to last, showcasing the kind of form that makes them clear title favourites.

Match Overview

At a packed Zhen Jiang Stadium, the home side hoped to build on a solid run of form. But Zhongxinglong, renowned for their sleek passing and pressing game, quickly extinguished those hopes. The gulf in quality was evident as the visitors carved open the Zhen Jiang defence with alarming ease, scoring four unanswered goals in a thoroughly professional display.

First Half: Zhongxinglong Dominate from the Start

The visitors took the lead in the 14th minute through a stunning free-kick from midfielder Sun Hao. His curling effort left the home goalkeeper rooted to the spot. Just eight minutes later, Zhongxinglong doubled their lead when striker Ma Chao finished off a neat one-two with winger Liu Zhe. Zhen Jiang struggled to string passes together, often coughing up possession cheaply in midfield.

Before half-time, Zhongxinglong added a third. A defensive mix-up between the Zhen Jiang centre-backs allowed Ma Chao to intercept a sloppy back-pass and slot home his second of the night. The home fans fell silent as their team trudged off at the break trailing 3-0.

Second Half: Cruise Control for the Visitors

The second period played out in similar fashion. Zhongxinglong were content to keep the ball and frustrate their opponents. Zhen Jiang Longren’s best chance came in the 68th minute when substitute Yang Wei fired wide from a promising position. Zhongxinglong sealed the rout in the 82nd minute through a clinical finish from captain Zhou Peng, who tapped in from close range after a well-worked team move.

There was no way back for Zhen Jiang, who ended the match with 10 men after defender Li Bo received a second yellow card for a late challenge in stoppage time. The red card merely underlined a night of frustration for the home side.
