# CSL Relegation: Cangzhou secures their first win after long wait
The CSL relegation race took a dramatic turn recently as Cangzhou Lions finally broke their winless streak, securing a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Dalian Yifang. This win, which came after a series of frustrating results, has reignited hopes for Cangzhou as they aim to avoid relegation and push for a brighter future.
Cangzhou, who had been struggling to find consistency this season, showed immense character in their clash against Dalian. Trailing 1-0 early in the game, the Lions refusing to back down and fought tooth and nail to level the score before half-time. The second-half performance was nothing short of incredible, with Cangzhou displaying relentless energy and determination. A late winner sealed the deal, sending the away fans into raptures.
This victory is a much-needed boost for Cangzhou, who had previously suffered a string of defeats, including a 2-0 loss to Shandong Luneng in their last fixture. The Lions will now look to build on this momentum and use it as a catalyst to turn their season around.
The CSL relegation battle is far from over, but Cangzhou’s first win in over a month has given them a renewed sense of belief. Fans of the club will be hoping this is the start of something special, as they aim to climb the table and secure their place in the top tier for another season.
For now, the focus remains on Cangzhou’s next game, as they prepare to take on Shenzhen FC in their quest for a historic double over one of the league’s heavyweights. With this recent victory under their belt, the Lions are ready to face the challenges ahead and prove their worth on the biggest stages.
