The Chinese Super League (CSL) has been hit with a double blow as two of its top teams, the Tianjin Teda and Shandong Luneng, have suffered defeats in their recent matches.

The Tianjin Teda lost to Guangzhou Evergrande on Saturday, while Shandong Luneng was beaten by Shanghai SIPG on Sunday. Both games were closely contested but the visitors could not find the back of the net.

This is not the first time that the CSL has seen droughts of goals from both teams. In fact, this season has already seen several instances where the league has struggled for goals.

The lack of scoring has been a major issue for the CSL, which has traditionally been known for its high-scoring fixtures. However, the league has faced criticism for failing to produce quality football and for being too reliant on individual talent rather than team play.

The drought of goals is not just affecting the league itself, but also the fans who have become accustomed to seeing close contests and thrilling finishes. The lack of goal-scoring has led to a decline in attendance figures, which is further eroding the credibility of the league.

It remains to be seen whether the CSL can bounce back from this setback and regain its former glory. But one thing is certain, the league will need to come up with new strategies if it wants to avoid another drought of goals.
