# CSL Title Race Tightens Up as Haigang Holds One-Game Advantage After Round 11
The Chinese Super League (CSL) title race has intensified in recent weeks, with Shanghai Haigang currently holding a one-game advantage at the top of the league standings following Round 11. The race for supremacy is proving to be a thrilling spectacle, with multiple teams still in contention for the championship.
Haigang extended their lead with a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Shandong Luneng last weekend. Despite being on the back foot for much of the match, Haigang’s defensive resilience and clinical finishing proved decisive. The team now sits at the summit of the table with 22 points, one point ahead of their nearest rivals. This one-game advantage is crucial as the season approaches its final stages, with the CSL title set to be a closely contested battle.
The race for second place is equally intense, with Shanghai SIPG and Beijing Guoan locked in a fierce battle for third and fourth positions. Both teams have shown flashes of brilliance this season, but they will need to dig deep in the coming weeks to challenge Haigang’s lead. SIPG, in particular, will be looking to bounce back from a recent dip in form, while Guoan continues to rely on their defensive organization and attacking prowess.
With fewer than ten games remaining in the regular season, the CSL title race is far from over. Haigang, however, will need to maintain their focus and composure under pressure if they are to secure the championship. The team faces a crucial match against Henan Zhengzhou in the next round, a game that could prove pivotal in determining the outcome of the title race.
As the season draws to a close, fans across the country are eagerly anticipating what promises to be a thrilling finish. With so many teams still in the mix, the CSL title race is set to go down to the wire, providing plenty of drama for football enthusiasts.
