A Masterful Player Too! Mineiro Terminated Contract with Shenhua Yesterday and Officially Joined Brazilian Serie B Side Ceara Today

After the 26th round of the 2026 Chinese Super League season concluded, the CSL officially released various statistical rankings one after another. The 26th round added a ranking of the five best goals, while the other traditional rankings remained, including running distance, passing accuracy, assists, and goalscorers. Shandong Taishan had the most players featured on the lists, while CSL powerhouse Beijing Guoan did not appear on any ranking. Shanghai Port only appeared in the passing accuracy ranking!

Among the five rankings, the leader in passing accuracy was Chongqing Tongliang Dragon. In their match against Shenhua, their passing accuracy was 91%. The top player in the running distance ranking was Shenzhen's Zhou Dingyang, who covered 13,047 meters. Zhou has frequently appeared on this list before and has also been included in the squad lists in recent rounds.

The assists ranking leader was Jonicha with 13 assists. Oscar topped the goalscoring chart and currently leads with 20 goals. The two foreign players have helped Yunnan Yukun score 54 goals this season. Oscar is first in goals, while Jonicha is first in assists. Having both the top scorer and the best passer in one season is a positive for Yunnan Yukun, but their defense has been poor, with 51 goals conceded after 26 rounds.

The TOP1 goal in the CSL's top five goals of round 26 came from Chongqing Tongliang Dragon's foreign player N'Gadeu, who scored a spectacular bicycle kick during stoppage time against Shenhua. Among tall players scoring bicycle kicks this season, Felipe's goal against Shenhua on May 1 was also one of the most memorable.

None of the traditionally strong teams appeared in the passing accuracy ranking. In particular, Beijing Guoan, a regular on this list, failed to make the ranking in this round, which surprised many fans. It appears that the absence of four foreign players still affected the team's passing accuracy. No player from the team appeared in the running distance ranking either!

In the running distance ranking, Shenzhen Peng City Football Club's Zhou Dingyang ranked first after covering 13,047 meters. Their opponent Shandong Taishan's Madruga ran more than 11,000 meters, ranking third. Meanwhile, in the assists ranking, Kaza had eight assists and ranked fourth in the CSL assists chart. In the goalscoring ranking, Cressan had scored 16 goals. This means that in the official rankings for this round, Shandong Taishan had three players featured, making them the team with the most appearances.

For Shenhua, Laton entered the top five of the goalscoring ranking, while Gao Tianyi entered the top five of the assists ranking. Shenhua have not performed well this season, and in the latest national team squad, only Gao Tianyi was selected.
