Shanghai, May 15 (IANS): Former Espanyol forward Wu Lei scored twice to gift Shanghai Port a 2-1 win over Zhejiang FC in the 2023 Chinese Super League (CSL).

The victory enabled Shanghai Port to reach the top of the table, edging Shanghai Shenhua by goal difference.

Elsewhere, midfielder Chen Chunxin demonstrated his prowess by helping Qingdao Hainiu defeat Meizhou Hakka 2-0 for Qingdao's second victory this season.

The game was goalless until the 64th minute when Chen, a substitute, crossed for Zhang Wei who scored easily.

In stoppage time, Chen scored the second goal after dancing past several defenders.

Also on Sunday, Chengdu Rongcheng drew 2-2 with Changchun Yatai, Cangzhou Mighty Lions held Shandong Taishan 1-1, and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers upset Henan Songshan Longmen 1-0.
