Shanghai Shenhua Women Dominate Qingdao West Coast with 3-0 Victory
Shanghai Shenhua Women continued their impressive run in the CFA Women's League One with a commanding 3-0 victory over Qingdao West Coast Women on June 20, 2026. The match at Qingdao's home stadium saw the visitors control proceedings from start to finish, reinforcing their status as title contenders.
The first goal came in the 12th minute when Shanghai Shenhua's star striker Chen Yufei finished a sweeping team move with a clinical left-footed strike. The goal settled any early nerves, and the visitors dominated possession, with midfielder Zhang Lin pulling the strings in the center of the park.
Shanghai doubled their lead just before half-time. A well-worked corner routine found defender Ma Jing unmarked at the far post, and she headed home powerfully from six yards out. Qingdao West Coast struggled to create chances, with their forward line isolated against a disciplined Shanghai defense.
The second half followed a similar pattern. Shanghai Shenhua Women continued to press forward, and their third goal arrived in the 73rd minute. Substitute Liu Hong cut inside from the left wing and unleashed a curling shot that nestled into the far corner, effectively sealing the three points.

League Impact
Shanghai Shenhua Women's win moves them to the top of the CFA Women's League One table with 18 points from 8 matches, two points clear of their nearest rivals. Qingdao West Coast Women remain in the relegation zone, having managed just one win all season.
