The Dynamos were obliterated by the Comets in their first back-to-back loss of the season 2. Meanwhile, Comets fans who have been patiently waiting for their team to turn around are ecstatic.

Dongji - Immortals
Karka 4 • Dongji Field
Dongji join the Immortals at the bottom of the pack as Immortals gain another victory.
It’s taken a long time for the Immortals to get going, but they are starting to look more like the team they were last season. Donovan lead the attack today with a long range strike from centre.
Disappointed fans blamed Ekberg’s absence for Dongji’s loss in momentum. However, Ekberg’s return to the field at today’s game did not inspire an spectacular gameplay—with Fan scoring the only goal for Dongji. As Tiangong’s Wuji Sports Club continues to climb the ranks, fans are also blaming Lian for abandoning the team.
GOALS
1ST 7 ‘ Donovan for Immortals
1ST 16’ Fan scores on a direct free kick for Dongji
