On July 21, in Round 24 of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Shanghai Port secured a commanding 5-0 victory over Qingdao Hainiu. In this match, Port’s forward Gustavo displayed exceptional form, scoring three goals. Another foreign player, Bargosas, provided three assists, contributing to the team’s comprehensive win.
The win means that Shanghai Port has now achieved 15 consecutive victories overall and 13 consecutive wins in the league, equaling the previous record set by Shandong Taishan and Guangzhou Evergrande.
In 2006, Shandong Taishan achieved 13 consecutive wins (from Round 14 to Round 28, with a bye in Round 25 and a game after Round 26).
In 2019, Guangzhou Evergrande also accomplished this feat (from Round 10 to Round 23).
