Shanghai Shenhua rediscovered their old glory as league leaders, beating Shaanxi Baorong 2-0. Meanwhile, Qingdao Zhongneng scored a 2-0 win, easily brushing off visitors, Shenzhen Shangqingyin.

More than 20 thousand fans arrived at the stadium, in pouring rain. Within the first minutes of the game a brisk, triangular pass, involving Sun Xiang, as well as foreign players Sergio Blanco and Diego Alonso resulted in the first goal for Shanghai.

High passes and long kicks were used because of the weather conditions. Shaanxi's Wang Houliang was taken out of the game after receiving his second yellow card.

Later, Shanghai's Zheng Kewei passed from the right and Wang Ke emerged from the middle to score.
