As the Chinese Super League (CSL) rounds down its second season, it's clear that both Shenzhen and Qingdao have been among the most impressive teams throughout the season.

Shenzhen has certainly been one of the standout performers so far this year, with their high-octane style of football earning them praise from fans and critics alike. Their attacking prowess has been on full display in recent matches, with goals coming from all corners of the pitch. However, they've also faced some tough opposition, including a defeat at home to Guangzhou Evergrande in their last match.

They were particularly impressive in their win over Beijing Guoan, with a late goal securing all three points for the team. The manner in which they played against such a formidable side was testament to their character and determination.

Despite their contrasting performances, both Shenzhen and Qingdao have made significant strides this season. It will be interesting to see how they fare in the remaining fixtures as the competition draws to a close. Whether it's Shenzhen looking to maintain their lead or Qingdao aiming to secure a top-four finish, we'll have our eyes fixed on these two sides as they battle it out for the final spots in the playoffs.
