Before this round of Super League competition, Huaxia had locked in the top four, and Quanjian needed to fight for the top four, but they also saw the opportunity of the top three. R&F has little chance. If they want to win the top four in the group, they need to win Lifan, but Quan Jian can't win. Under such circumstances, Quan Jian went all out to beat Evergrande, which won the championship in advance, away from home, and Huaxia missed a good show and lost to Luneng, who missed the AFC Champions League! Although R&F won, it didn't hinder the overall situation.
In the final four points, Evergrande ranked first with 64 points, followed by Shanghai with 58 points, Quanjian with 54 points, and Huaxia with 52 points. Evergrande has won the direct participation places in the AFC Champions League next season, while Shanghai and Quanjian have already qualified for the AFC Champions League qualifiers. According to the allocation of AFC Champions League places, another AFC Champions League seat will be the FA Cup champion.
The FA Cup final was played by Shanghai Port against Shanghai Shenhua. Shanghai needs to win the FA Cup to qualify for the AFC Champions League next season. If Shanghai wins the FA Cup, which means that the fourth place in the Super League can also qualify for the AFC Champions League, then China will catch the last bus of the AFC Champions League. On the other hand, if Shenhua wins the FA Cup, they will directly advance to the AFC Champions League next season, and then Huaxia, who is fourth in the Super League, will miss the AFC Champions League next season.
All in all, Quanjian's defeat of Evergrande this time is of great significance. They not only seized their own destiny, but also waited for the Chinese horse to stumble. After Huaxia, who took the initiative to advance, lost, it depends on the face of Hong Kong. Going to Hong Kong will certainly not give up the FA Cup, because the FA Cup is not only a champion, but also an opportunity to avoid participating in the AFC Champions League qualifiers. Next season, Super League BIG4 has released three seats, namely Evergrande, Shanghai and Quanjian, and the last seat will be produced between Shenhua and Huaxia.
Now they are all waiting for the FA Cup final, and all suspense will be revealed.
