Changchun Xidu made it back-to-back wins with a 1-0 away victory over Lanzhou Longyuan Athletic in Chinese Football League 2 on May 2, 2025. This narrow but important win further cemented Changchun Xidu's status as genuine promotion contenders from the third tier. The only goal of the game came from a defensive error by Lanzhou, which was pounced upon and finished coolly by the Changchun striker in the 30th minute. Lanzhou applied pressure in search of an equalizer but found the Changchun defense, marshaled superbly by their captain, impossible to break down. The result leaves Lanzhou Longyuan Athletic languishing at the foot of the table, while Changchun climbs into the top three. The Changchun manager emphasized the importance of winning ugly, and the Lanzhou coach lamented his team's costly mistake.
