It's easy to say they've done a pretty impressive job thus far of making ends meet in the Super League while trying to use every trick in the book to fully be safe from the relegation zone, despite their inconsistent play.
Their joy was short-lived, however, as they soon suffered a 4-1 defeat to Beijing Guoan before shocking Guangzhou City 5-0 at the Yuexiushan Stadium, which stands as their best super league victory to date.
They have made sure to leave a significant point gap between themselves and Dalian Pro, who are only five points behind them despite being two standings away from the relegation zone.

Going two games without a victory is not how they anticipated competing for second place in the super league, and this has significantly harmed their formerly strong play in their most recent games.
It was a near-miss for them to return to winning ways against Meizhou Hakka, but sadly, their adversaries put on a strong defensive showing that prevented them from scoring an equalizer, leading to a 1-0 setback.
They subsequently hosted Wuhan Three Towns after losing to Meizhou Hakka, but it was yet another sad result they recorded as they suffered a 3-0 loss to a flawless in-form side in the Super League, leaving them with no space for breathing to at least score a consolation.
The visitors are in a race against time because they only lead Meizhou Hakka by three points and Shanghai SIPG by four points. Another loss this time could be the final straw for them, as they will be under extreme pressure to win all of their games.
Prior to their two consecutive losses, they were only separated from second-placed Shandong Taishan by four points. However, they now face a massive important point disparity of seven points as they hold the third-place position with 26 points.
