Haimen Codion 2-2 Shanghai Port B: Thrilling Draw Keeps Both Sides in the Hunt

The Haimen Codion and Shanghai Port B served up a gripping 2-2 stalemate under the floodlights at the Haimen Sports Centre on 23 June 2026. In a match that ebbed and flowed from the first whistle, both sides had spells of dominance, yet neither could claim all three points. The result leaves both teams firmly in the mid-table mix of the Chinese Football League 2 season.

Match Overview

Shanghai Port B started brightly, pressing high and forcing an early error from the Codion defence. Their reward came in the 14th minute when a well‑worked corner was nodded home by centre‑back Li Yang. Haimen responded well, though, and equalised just before the half‑hour mark when winger Chen Wei cut inside and curled a fine shot into the far corner.

The second half saw Shanghai Port B regain the initiative. A slick counter‑attack in the 57th minute saw forward Zhang Haifeng finish clinically to make it 2‑1. Haimen Codion refused to wilt, and their persistence paid off in the 79th minute when substitute Huang Jie latched onto a loose ball inside the box and fired home a dramatic equaliser.

Tactical Analysis

After going 2‑1 down, Haimen coach Wang Lei switched to a more direct 4‑4‑2, bringing on an extra striker. The change gave them greater presence in the box and ultimately earned the point. Shanghai Port B, meanwhile, looked dangerous on the break but tired in the final 15 minutes.

What It Means for the Season

The draw keeps Haimen Codion in 9th place, three points clear of the relegation zone, while Shanghai Port B remain 7th, just outside the promotion playoff spots. Both sides will feel they could have won, but the point may prove valuable in a tightly‑packed table.
