In the ongoing battle for survival in Chinese professional football, Dalian Shide have secured their place in the Chinese Professional League (CPL) after defeating Guangzhou R&F in a crucial relegation match.

The match was played at the Dalian Yatai Stadium on Saturday and saw both teams playing with great intensity to secure victory. The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams exchanging chances throughout the game.

However, it was Dalian Shide who emerged victorious in the end, thanks to a late goal from substitute striker, Wang Jianyi. The win means that Dalian Shide will be able to stay in the CPL next season, while Guangzhou R&F will be relegated back to the China League One.

The match was a significant one for Dalian Shide, as it came just weeks after they were reportedly negotiating a move to a new stadium in Qingdao. However, the club's decision to remain in Dalian has been welcomed by fans and supporters, who believe that the team will continue to thrive under their current conditions.

For their part, Guangzhou R&F had struggled in recent months, and their defeat in this match could be seen as a sign of their struggles ahead. Despite this, the club has not given up hope of returning to the CPL, and is still hopeful of securing a spot in the league next season.

Overall, the result of this match is a testament to the resilience and determination of both teams. While Dalian Shide may have come out victorious, the match also highlights the importance of perseverance and hard work in the face of adversity.
