Suzhou versus Yancheng. Yancheng has been struggling recently, losing 2-3 to Nanjing in a tough match, followed by an upset 0-2 defeat to Wuxi, suffering two consecutive losses. This round, they faced ninth-ranked Suzhou. The match turned into a goal fest, with Yancheng clearly stronger, scoring first away at the 12th minute.

Ultimately, Yancheng won 3-2, ending their two-game losing streak and climbing to third place!

Huaian versus Taizhou. Both teams are close in ranking, within the top eight, and this round was a crucial battle for positioning.

During two corner kicks, Zhao Xuyang surprisingly scored twice with headers, giving Huaian a dream 2-0 lead. Later, Taizhou indirectly caused an own goal by Yang Mingtao from a free kick, unexpectedly pulling one back. Then Huaian took a free kick, and Zhu Ming headed in to secure the victory.
