Beijing Guoan reclaimed the top spot in the Chinese Super League (CSL) after a thrilling 2-1 comeback victory over Yunnan Yukun on Monday. Despite trailing early to a first-half goal from Yunnan's Ye Chugui, Guoan rallied with Fabio Abreu's equalizer and a penalty by Zhang Xizhe, securing their 400th match at Beijing's iconic Workers Stadium in style. The win ties them with Shanghai Shenhua at 38 points, edging ahead on goal difference.
Meanwhile, Shanghai Port continued their seven-game unbeaten streak with a dramatic 2-1 away win against Shenzhen Peng City. Leonardo's 77th-minute strike sealed the comeback after Li Xinxiang's stunning long-range effort canceled out Li Ning's early opener. The result leaves Port fourth in the standings, while Shenzhen faces mounting pressure after three consecutive losses.
In other matches, Shandong Taishan squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Henan, while Dalian Yingbo climbed into the top ten with a 1-0 victory over Zhejiang. The CSL's competitive intensity shows no signs of easing as the season approaches its climax.
