In the 13th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Guangzhou defeated Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic by a narrow 5-1 scoreline to win their third consecutive match. Wei Shihao and Golat each contributed two goals in the victory, while Eriksen also scored. Wei Shihao scored three goals, while Gaolat also scored twice. It is worth noting that Ackerson's goal in the 60th minute made him the first player in the history of China's top league to reach 120 goals, surpassing the legendary scorer Li Jinyu to become the new king of scorers in China's national soccer world. Currently, Guangzhou's front line is strong and in great shape, presenting a strong offensive for the Super League title this season.
In the last round of matches, Guangzhou defeated Henan Songshan Longmen, who played with an all-Chinese team, by a score of 2-0, realizing two consecutive victories and bringing their total record to seven wins this season. Despite the loss of two powerful strikers in Paulinho and Talisca, naturalized players such as Allan, Ekerson, Gaolat, and Luo Guofu are back in form, scoring a total of 29 goals in 12 matches, making them the team with the most goals in the Chinese Super League. In this round of matches, Alan and Luo Guofu both scored, while Golat and Aixon also got their starting chances.
Despite Chongqing's stubborn resistance in the first 25 minutes, Wei Shihao scored easily in the 26th minute when the referee awarded a penalty kick after a clever grab inside the penalty area. After taking a one-goal lead, Guangzhou's offense became more comfortable, with Gaolat and Eickson working well together in front of the goal, and Wei Shihao scored with a right-footed shot on the counterattack to give Guangzhou a two-goal lead. Fernandinho helped Chongqing pull a goal back, but in first half stoppage time, Wu Shao Cong crossed from the right and Golat scored with a header to give Guangzhou a 3-1 lead at halftime.
In the second half, Guangzhou's offense was more vigorous, and in the 60th minute, Wei Shihao picked the middle of the left side of the penalty area, and Eckerson's header broke the goal, giving Guangzhou a 4-1 lead. After the goal, Aixon's goal count reached 120, surpassing Li Jin Yu's 119 goal record. In the 90th minute, Alan received the ball inside the top of the arc and switched to a left-footed shot that was blocked by a defender, the ball fell in the middle of the penalty area, and Gaolat fired a low shot into the goal in the same direction. In the end, the match ended with a 5-1 win for Guangzhou over Chongqing, making it three wins in a row.
This season, despite the loss of the "Pagoda combination", Guangzhou's naturalized players such as Alan, Ekerson, Golat and Luo Guofu have rebounded, scoring 29 goals in 12 matches, making them the team with the most goals in the Chinese Super League. In the last three rounds, they have shown a strong explosive power. In the 11th round of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou beat Cangzhou Lions 5-2, with Gao Latter scoring a hat-trick and Wei Shihao scoring two goals. In the last round, Alan and Luo Guofu both scored. In this round, Wei Shihao and Gaolat broke out again, and Eckerson also scored.
It is worth mentioning that Eckerson, who scored in this game, surpassed Li Jinyu to become the top scorer of China's top league while reaching 120 goals. Ackerson had already tied Li Jinyu's 119-goal scoring record in the July 30th match with Shenzhen Football, but did not score in the subsequent matches. After scoring in this game, Ackerson broke the record of 119 goals set by Li Jinyu in 2010. I believe that as the season progresses, Eckerson will continue to rewrite his own record ......
