In the Chinese FA Cup, both Dalian Yifang and Shanghai Shenhua won away games and advanced to the round of 16. Li Guoxu's Dalian Yifang had given it their all but still lost 3-5 to Shanghai Shenhua, which had a more luxurious lineup and higher total value. However, Dalian Yifang later found its footing, earning 22 points and ranking third in the league standings at the halfway point. Shanghai Five-Star Sports and Dalian Sports Channel, which is jokingly referred to as the 'rolling screen' by Dalian fans, will broadcast the match on TV. The game will be played at the beautiful Dalian Tusi Football Stadium, which is known as the 'first devil's home court in Asia', and is expected to be a sell-out, with over 60,000 spectators in attendance!
