Guangzhou Evergrande have secured their place in the Chinese Super League (CSL) after beating Wuhan Zall 2-1 at the Guangdong Football Stadium on Sunday.
The result means that Guangzhou will be returning to the CSL next season for the first time since 2017, when they were relegated from the league.
The victory was all the more impressive given that Guangzhou had been heavily reliant on外援 (foreign player) support in recent seasons, with their domestic players struggling to compete with the quality of foreign talent available in China's top division.
But this year, Guangzhou showed signs of turning things around, with their domestic players stepping up and contributing to the team's success.
Their victory against Wuhan also saw them move ahead of fellow relegation-threatened side Shandong Luneng, who lost 4-1 to Beijing Guoan earlier in the day.
Despite the setback, Shandong have still managed to avoid the drop and will now face another challenge as they look to maintain their position in the CSL.
Overall, Guangzhou's victory is a huge boost for the club and their fans, who will be hoping that they can build on this success to continue their upward trajectory in the coming years.
