Anthony Ujah’s Scoring Struggles Continue as Liaoning Suffers Another CSL Defeat
Nigerian striker Anthony Ujah’s goal drought persisted as his club, Liaoning Hongyun, endured a 2-0 loss away to Chongqing Lifan in the fiercely competitive Chinese Super League on a gloomy Sunday. The goals for Chongqing Lifan were skillfully netted by Qing Wu in the 30th minute and Alan Kardec in the 69th minute, sealing Liaoning’s fate.
This defeat deepens Liaoning’s struggles, leaving them mired in the 16th position with a meager 17 points in the 16-team Chinese Super League table. It is a disheartening scenario for the team as this loss marks their 11th in the last 12 games, with only one draw to show for their efforts.
For Anthony Ujah, the dearth of goals is becoming an agonizing ordeal. He has now gone nine consecutive games without finding the back of the net, with his last goal dating back to June 30 in an 8-1 away defeat. The prolific striker’s scoring prowess has been notably absent during this challenging period.
Ujah’s appearance for Liaoning against Chongqing marked his 20th league game for the club, where he has managed to score five goals. Despite his goal drought, his consistent contributions on the field are a testament to his unwavering commitment to the team’s cause.
As Liaoning Hongyun grapples with their dire situation in the Chinese Super League, the fans and management will be hoping for Ujah to rediscover his scoring touch and help steer the team out of their troubling streak. The CSL remains a fiercely competitive league, and the pressure to perform is unrelenting. Only time will tell if Ujah can rise to the occasion and reignite his goal-scoring form.
