    Dalian Shide have secured their place in the Chinese Super League (CSL) for another season after drawing 2-2 against Tianjin Teda at the Dalian Yurong Stadium on Saturday.

    The match was crucial for both teams as they were battling for survival in the CSL's relegation zone. Dalian Shide had already clinched a spot in the top flight last season but needed to avoid the drop this time around to maintain their position.

    Despite being down to ten men early on, Dalian Shide managed to keep up with Tianjin Teda throughout the game. They took the lead through a penalty kick from midfielder Guo Zhaohui in the 15th minute, but Tianjin Teda equalized just before half-time through a goal from striker Liu Weiming.

    Both teams were determined to win and put pressure on each other in the second half. However, Dalian Shide held firm and managed to secure a draw. The result means that Dalian Shide will remain in the CSL for another season, while Tianjin Teda will have to fight for their survival in the league next year.

    Manager Zhang Jie praised his players' performance, saying that it was a tough game and that they played well despite the setbacks. He also expressed confidence in his team's ability to continue their good form and compete for honours next season.

    This is not the first time that Dalian Shide has achieved this feat; they have been able to maintain their position in the top flight for several seasons now. The club's fans will be hoping that they can build on this success and achieve even greater things in the future.

    In conclusion, Dalian Shide's draw with Tianjin Teda on Saturday was a vital victory for the team as they maintained their position in the Chinese Super League. The result shows that the team's resilience and determination are still intact, and they will undoubtedly continue to perform well in the upcoming seasons.
