In an electrifying Chinese Super League clash, Beijing Guoan delivered a stunning 6-1 victory over Shandong Taishan, proving that determination can overcome any shortage on the field—even with one player down! ⚽🔥
The action kicked off when Shandong Taishan took an early lead in the 4th minute as a precise cross from Valeri Qazaishvili found Zeca in the box. However, Guoan quickly turned the tide. Just 11 minutes in, a clever pass from Sai Erjiniao set up Zhang Yuning, whose cross was met by Fabio Abreu’s powerful header to level the game.
The match rapidly grew dramatic when Taishan’s Wu Xinghan was shown a red card in the 27th minute after a VAR review upgraded his yellow, and shortly after, Zeca was also sent off for a reckless challenge. With Shandong reduced to nine players, Beijing seized the moment. A deflected cross in the final minute of the first half allowed Guga to score, giving Guoan a 2-1 advantage at halftime.
The second half did not let up. Just two minutes in, Sai Erjiniao extended the lead further, and substitute Yang Liyu assisted Fabio Abreu for his second header, making it 4-1. Even with Beijing down to 10 men following an incident involving Cao Yongjing, the home side pressed on. A stunning strike from Zhang Yuning and a last-minute finish by Zhang Xizhe—set up by Yang’s incisive through pass—sealed a comprehensive 6-1 win.
This roller-coaster match, filled with twists and high drama, left fans buzzing and proved that superb teamwork and grit can triumph against tough odds. An unforgettable night of top-tier football action!
