The Shenhua team has been in the title race for quite some time now, and they have finally closed in on the top spot. The team has been performing consistently well throughout the season, and their recent performances have put them ahead of other teams.

One of the key factors that has helped Shenhua close in on the top spot is their strong defense. They have conceded only five goals so far this season, which is one of the lowest in the league. This has allowed them to keep a clean sheet more often than not, which has been crucial in maintaining their lead in the title race.

Another factor that has contributed to Shenhua's success is their attacking prowess. They have scored 27 goals so far this season, which is second only to Guangzhou Evergrande. Their attacking players such as Wu Lei and Zhang Kunpeng have been instrumental in scoring many of their goals.

Despite their success, Shenhua still faces competition from other teams in the title race. However, with their current form and performance, they are definitely closing in on the top spot. As the final matches of the season draw near, it will be interesting to see how things play out and who emerges victorious in the title race.
