West Coast's Dream Start! Davidson Scores in 123 Seconds but Does Not Celebrate

In the 26th round of the 2026 Chinese Super League season, Wuhan Three Towns welcomed Qingdao West Coast. Impressively, Davidson scored a remarkable goal just 123 seconds into the match, giving Wuhan Three Towns a dream-like start.

Qingdao West Coast remained unbeaten in the first seven rounds of the Chinese Super League. In their 21 matches since July 11 this year, they have only lost to Shenzhen Peng City. After 25 rounds, Qingdao West Coast sit third in the standings due to an inferior goal difference, level on 37 points with Beijing Guoan and Dalian Yingbo, and are pushing for the Chinese Super League runners-up position.

In the next five matches, Qingdao West Coast's goal is to create the best result in the club's history in the top flight. Previously, Qingdao Hainiu finished sixth in 1998 and 2011. In addition to competing for the Chinese Super League runners-up spot and an AFC Champions League qualification place, Qingdao West Coast also hope to maintain their unbeaten home record this season, with a current home record of 5 wins and 8 draws in 13 matches. An insider said: "In the upcoming matches, we will give our all to achieve the best result in Qingdao football history and will not hold back because we are not participating in the AFC Champions League."

In the away match against Wuhan Three Towns, a victory for Qingdao West Coast would move them closer to their target and would also help their city rivals Qingdao Hainiu.

After the match began, Qingdao West Coast quickly took control and repeatedly created scoring opportunities. In the third minute, Davidson received the ball on the left side of the attacking area, cleverly beat a defender, and then delivered a right-footed diagonal pass. Aziz and Nelson Luess failed to make contact with the ball, which went directly into the corner of the net, allowing West Coast to take an early lead. It was notable that Davidson, who previously played for Wuhan Three Towns, did not celebrate wildly after scoring and appeared very composed.

Qingdao West Coast extended their record of scoring in consecutive matches against Wuhan Three Towns to five games. Their last clean-sheet defeat came on June 16, 2024. At the same time, they continued their historical record of never being held scoreless away against Wuhan Three Towns, scoring five goals in three meetings.
