In the most recent round of the Super League, Tianjin Teda managed to defeat Changchun Yatai FC 1-0 on foreign territory thanks to Andrea Compagno's converted penalty in the 44th minute. 

In light of this win, the Tigers extended their winning run in the league to two matches. Most importantly, they have yet to see their record in the league blemished, going unbeaten in the last three matches (W2 D1).

With 7 points accumulated from three matches, Tianjin sits in second place in the Chinese Super League standings and is two points behind first-placed Shanghai Shenhua.

Chengdu Rongcheng FC

The away side, on the other hand, promptly returned to winning form, narrowly defeating Nantong Zhiyun FC 1-0 at home. This follows their unexpected 1-0 defeat against Cangzhou Mighty Lions FC on the road.
