Guangzhou Evergrande pocketed a big win over Shanghai Shenhua 4-1 on Sunday night. Though Cao Yunding scored first for Shanghai in the sixth minute, it only took another 13 minutes for Anderson Talisca to tie the score 1-1 for Guangzhou.

In the second half, Shanghai had a painful taste of being routed quickly. First, Fei Nanduo's passing was turned into an own goal by Shanghai's defender Zhu Chenjie in the 49th minute. Eight minutes later, Zhang Lingpeng broke into Shanghai's box from right and assisted Fei to make it 3-1 for Guangzhou. Then in the 62nd minute, Fei was taken down by Li Shuai, earning a penalty for Guangzhou, and it was made by Ai Kesen to seal the win for Guangzhou.

In simply 13 minutes, Shanghai were crashed by Guangzhou. Thanks to this win, Guangzhou continued to lead Group A and leave No. 2 Shandong Luneng behind by three points. As for Shanghai which are No. 4, Shenzhen F.C. are chasing them with a margin of only one point.

Jiangsu Suning beat Henan Jianye 5-2 to score their first win in four games. Jiangsu's Ivan Santini materialized a hat trick by scoring three goals in the 9th, 16th and 66th minute. Eder got the other two goals for the team.

The two teams had five goals in the first half and Henan once tied the game 2-2 thanks to Henrique Dourado and Ni Yusong. However, as Ni was ejected by the referee in the 53rd minute, Henan ceased to be able to contend with the opponents, not to mention that their goalkeeper Wu Yan made a horrible mistake to cost Henan this game.

In the 67th minute, Wu received the ball from his teammate. Instead of holding the ball in his arms or clearing it out, Wu somehow stood there without even protecting the ball. Santini quickly cut his ball and scored his third goal via a free shot, extending Suning's lead to 4-2.
