Shijiazhuang Ever Bright defeated Hebei China Fortune 3-1 in the "Hebei Derby" of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on Monday. Yin Hongbo scored an incredible header for Hebei in the 19th minute, but he was called offside by the referee, who thus canceled the goal. Fifteen minutes later, Ren Hang again broke Shijiangzhuang's net with a header and this time, the goal was valid. His team led 1-0.
However, Ren's happiness only lasted for four minutes. He tackled Matheus in the box, giving Shijiazhuang a penalty made by Muriqui to make it 1-1. Ren's bad luck did not end there, he received two yellow cards in the rest of the game and was ejected in the 93rd minute.
Hebei created several opportunities in the second half but missed all of them. Then in the 82nd minute, Matheus dribbled his way into Hebei's hinterland and suddenly took a long shot. The ball flew right into the left low corner of the net, making Shijiazhuang the leading side 2-1.
In the last minute of the game, Oscar Maritu got the third goal for Shijiazhuang, adding a cherry on the top of the cream.
In the other game on Monday night, the only undefeated team Shanghai SIPG claimed an easy 4-1 win over the only winless team Tianjin TEDA. Each of Shanghai's four foreign team members, Odil Ahmedov, Hulk, Marko Arnautovic and Oscar, scored one goal.
Shanghai continue to lead in Group B over No. 2 Beijing Guoan by six points. Tianjin's winless streak was extended to eight games.
