For objective reasons, Mjallby could not set ambitious goals for the season. Christian Yerdler’s team is fighting a desperate struggle for survival. So far, the club from Hellevik is in 13th place in the table with 10 points, being just one point ahead of the relegation zone. The defeat with a score 2:3 to Gothenburg in the last round was the third in a row for Mjallby.
Guangzhou Evergrande played aggressive attacking football after the break. While the Chinese Tigers failed to realize their full potential with Henan Zanye, in the duels against Chongqin Lifan and Qingdao Hainu, Fabio Cannavaro’s charges were simply unstoppable, beating them with a score of 3:1 and 6:0, respectively. As a result, Guangzhou Evergrande has now occupied the second place in the group A standings with 14 points. The Chinese flagship is now in perfect order.
