In the latest round of the China Soccer League (CSL) championship, Chengdu Blades and Beijing Guoan have been crowned as the top two teams, with Chengdu Blades securing their place in the final round by defeating Beijing Guoan 2-1 on penalties after a 1-1 draw at the end of normal time.

The victory for Chengdu Blades was a significant one, as it marked their first win in the CSL finals since 2017. The team has been struggling in recent years, but they have shown great resilience this season, finishing second in the regular season and qualifying for the playoffs.

Beijing Guoan, meanwhile, had a much more difficult task in reaching the final. They faced a tough challenge from Shanghai SIPG in the semi-finals, losing 2-1 on aggregate. Despite this setback, the team showed their fighting spirit and fought back to reach the final.

In the final round, Chengdu Blades were able to hold their own against Beijing Guoan, who had some key players out injured. However, in the shootout, Chengdu Blades' ability to convert penalty kicks proved decisive, as they won 4-3 to secure their spot in the final.

As the winner of the CSL championship, Chengdu Blades will now face off against the winners of the other semi-final match between Shanghai SIPG and Guangzhou Evergrande. The winner of that match will be crowned the champion of the CSL and will go on to play in the AFC Champions League next year.

It remains to be seen whether Chengdu Blades can maintain their winning form and take home the CSL title again, or if Beijing Guoan will be able to bounce back and claim the crown once again. Either way, it promises to be an exciting final round of the CSL, and fans can't wait to see how things pan out.
