Shanghai attacked from the start at Dalian but were unable to break down a well-organised defence.

The match ended goalless despite two efforts from Shanghai that hit the woodwork. It was a welcome point for the struggling Dalian but they need one more to be safe from the drop after relegation rivals Liaoning defeated Qingdao 3-2.

Elsewhere, Beijing stay third with a 1-0 win over Changhsa, Tianjin are still fourth after a 2-0 defeat of Changchun while one-time leaders Shanxi are in fifth thanks to a 3-0 triumph over Chengdu.

Shenzhen downed Zhejiang 3-2 while Henan lost 4-2 at Guangzhou.
