Beijing Guoan delivered a stunning performance on Saturday, overwhelming Qingdao with a resounding 6-0 victory at home. This triumph marks their 15th win in the 2024 Chinese Super League (CSL) season, solidifying their position in fourth place on the league table.
The standout player of the night was undoubtedly Fabio Abreu, who showcased exceptional skill by scoring one goal and providing four assists. Abreu initiated the scoring spree in the 18th minute, setting up Cao Yongjing with a precise header to open the scoreboard for Beijing. Just eight minutes later, after two blocked shots from Lin Liangming, Abreu seized the opportunity and headed the ball into the net, extending the lead to 2-0.
The momentum continued in the second half when, just two minutes in, Abreu made a decisive run into the box from the right flank. He sent a well-placed pass to Lin at the far post, who made no mistake from close range, bringing the score to 3-0. In the 60th minute, a swift interception in midfield allowed Abreu to launch an attack down the left wing. He delivered the ball to Cao, who netted his second goal, amplifying Beijing’s advantage to four goals.
Abreu’s influence didn’t wane as he provided his fourth assist in the 66th minute with a deft through pass to Lin. Despite Qingdao’s goalkeeper Mu Pengfei getting a touch, he couldn’t prevent Beijing from scoring their fifth goal. The rout was completed in the 89th minute when a defensive error led to Qingdao’s Liu Jiashen deflecting a pass into his own net, sealing a dominant 6-0 victory for Beijing Guoan.
Meanwhile, in Changchun, northeast China’s Jilin Province, Changchun Yatai secured an impressive 4-0 win against Qingdao West Coast, marking their eighth victory of the season. The home side broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute with a powerful header from Stoppila Sunzu. The lead was doubled in the 56th minute when Robert Beric found the back of the net, with both goals confirmed after intervention from the Video Assistant Referee (VAR).
Beric continued to be a driving force for Changchun, orchestrating attacks and creating opportunities. In the 61st minute, he drew the defense before laying off a pass to Serginho, who scored to make it 3-0. The duo connected again during stoppage time, with Serginho assisting Beric for his second goal of the match, cementing a comprehensive victory for Changchun Yatai.
