My Romanian Constantin Budescu played all the minutes for Dalian in a 2-1 win over Yiteng, former Harbin. Video with the goals here: http://sports.sina.com.cn/china/b/2016-03-12/doc-ifxqhmve9120185.shtml He played an important role when Dalian scored the second goal. Their foreigners players look pretty good. The African players are good. Bejing Renhe did only a draw in their opener. Jelavic started, but the former Man City defender Sun Jihai and playmaker Misimovic missed the game due to injuries. They are set to return next round when Renhe will play "away" against the other Beijing team. http://sports.sina.com.cn/china/b/2016-03-13/doc-ifxqhmvc2389329.shtml The new Tiajin team have won 3-0. Sun Ke with the opener and Fabiano with a brace. Goals here: http://video.sina.com.cn/p/sports/b/v/2016-03-13/195165198005.html Sina does a good job by broadcasting some games of the round.

According to Wiki, CL2 is having placement playoffs for teams that miss the promotion playoffs. Is there any reason for this change this year?
Some huge upsets in CL2 playoff Quarterfinals! The Sichuan province can keep their hopes alive of having a team again in the top two divisions as 4th place side Sichuan Longfor (S4) stun 1st place side Yinchuan Helanshan (N1) 3-2 on aggregrate. Another big upset on the other side with Baoding Yingli Yitong (N4) advancing over Meixian Hakka (S1) 3-1 on aggregrate. Lijiang Jiayunhao (S2) advanced 4-2 on aggregate over Shenyang Urban (N3) and Jiangxi Liansheng (S3) upset Hebei Elite (N2) 3-1 on aggregate. Next round matchups (starting October 8) to decide who gets promoted: Lijiang (S2) vs Sichuan (S4) and Baoding (N4) vs. Jiangxi (S3).
Big matches coming up on Saturday (10/15) with the 2nd Legs of the Semi-Finals of CL2 (winners promoted to CL1!): Sichuan Longor (S4) vs Lijiang Jiayunhao (S2) @ Chengdu Sports Centre (they normally play at Santai County Stadium) according to Wiki with Sichuan leading 1-0 on aggregate Baoding Yingli Yitong (N4) vs Jiangxi Liansheng (S3) @ Baoding People's Stadium with Jiangxi leading 3-1 on aggregate
Big matches this Saturday in the penultimate games to decide which two sides gets promoted to CSL with Tianjin Quanjian vs Guizhou Zhicheng at Guizhou and Qingdao Huanghai vs 4th place side Beijing Renhe at Qingdao. The first tiebreaker is H2H and Tianjin won the first matchup with Guizhou 2-1. CL1 Promotion Standings: 1. Tianjin 56 pts. 2. Guizhou 53 pts. 3. Qingdao 53 pts. For relegation, Hunan has long sealed their fate with only 10 points, but the other spot is tight with six sides still having a chance to be dropped down to CL2. CL1 Relegation Standings: 10. Wuhan 37 pts. -4 GD (Wuhan and Qingdao have identical H2H, so next tiebreaker is goal differential) 11. Shanghai 36 pts. 12. Dalian 36 pts. 13. Meizhou 36 pts. 14. Nei Mongol 35 pts. 15. Qingdao Jonoon 31 pts. -13 GD
The Sichuan region will be without a team for the top two divisions again next year after Sichuan Longfor loses 1-0 at home and then 2-1 on Penalties, so Lijiang gets promoted to CL1. Baoding also gets promoted to CL1 after a 2-0 win at home, winning on away goals after 3-3 aggregate.
In the battle for CSL promotion, Qingdao won 4-1 over Beijing and Guizhou won 2-1 over Tianjin, which leaves a 3-way tie at 56 pts. for first going into the last week of the season. None of the 3 teams play each other on the final week. Again, H2H is the first tie breaker, H2H goal difference is 2nd tiebreaker, H2H goals scored is 3rd, and overall GD is 4th, so here is how the 3 matchup against each other in case they finished tied after next week: Tianjin - 3-1 record +31 GD (2-0 against Qingdao and 1-1 against Guizhou, but with identical GD) Guizhou - 2-2 record +20 GD (1-1 against both teams with identical GD for both) Qingdao - 1-3 record +8 GD (1-1 against Guizhou with identical GD and 0-2 against Tianjin) Tianjin would win any tiebreaker it looks like unless some crazy 10-digit results happen. Qingdao Jonoon will join Hunan in CL2 next season.
Lijiang won the CL2 title with a 2-0 win over Baoding and Jiangxi took 3rd place winning 3-2 over Sichuan.
