Guangzhou Evergrande, one of the most successful football clubs in China, secured their first Chinese Super League (CSL) league point in the 2023 season with a narrow victory over Tianjin Quanjian at the Guangdong Stadium on Sunday.
The match was played under a sunny sky and saw both teams put up a strong fight for the three points. Guangzhou started off well and took the lead early on through a goal from striker Cao Yuanyuan. However, Tianjin fought back and equalized just before half-time through a goal from midfielder Chen Yuchen.
In the second half, Guangzhou regained control of the game and continued to push forward for a winning goal. They were eventually rewarded for their efforts when defender Zhang Jie scored the winner late in the match.
This win is a significant milestone for Guangzhou, who have struggled with injuries and form issues this season. The team has been plagued by poor performances and injuries, which has led to them being placed in the bottom four positions in the table.
However, the win against Tianjin shows that Guangzhou still has what it takes to compete at the highest level of Chinese football. The team will now look to build on this success and continue to improve their performance in future matches.
