Changes are also afoot near the bottom of the Chinese Super League table, as Shanghai Shenhua sought a second straight win under their new coach in hopes of moving further away from the relegation zone when they visited Beijing Renhe, who went into kickoff trying to snap a six-game losing streak. Damion Jones has the wrap up.

When Choi Kang-hee last faced Beijing Renhe three weeks ago, he guided Dalian Yifang to a 3-1 victory that served as his swan song, before switching touchlines and moving to Shanghai Shenhua, whose newly signed forward Kim Shin-wook, immediately sets out to make his old K-League mentor's latest trip to Fengtai Stadium a success, by scoring the evening's opening goal in the fifth minute.

KIM SHIN-WOOK SHANGHAI SHENHUA FORWARD 'First of all, I want to thank my teammates, as they helped me a lot. They are also getting used to me right now.'

ELVIS MANU BEIJING RENHE FORWARD "I think we gave the goals away too easy so that was the problem. I don't think that, we had some good chances, even though it was 1-0 for them. We had some good chances, but we didn't make use of it, and then you know what, how football goes, if you don't score your goals your opponent will."

And showing the confidence that's been missing for much of this season, the visitors from Shanghai continue to pile on as 18-year-old Jiang Shenglong finds the net for his first CSL goal in the 21st minute, before captain Giovanni Moreno notches his seventh of the campaign to make it 3-0 in the 38th.

JIANG SHENGLONG SHANGHAI SHENHUA DEFENDER "My biggest hope is that we can maintain the good form that we have now, and continue to play better."

DAMION JONES BEIJING "At the start of this year, neither Beijing Renhe nor Shanghai Shenhua expected to be battling to avoid or escape the relegation zone with nearly two-thirds of the CSL season in the books, but now both clubs find themselves hoping that changing coaches and adding new players will end up being the formula to salvage their troubled campaigns."

The hosts get on the board courtesy of Makhete Diop's penalty kick, for his team-leading ninth goal in the 61st minute, but at the moment, the recently-rehired Luis Garcia's coaching adjustments are not having the same impact as those of his counterpart for the night.

KIM SHIN-WOOK ONE GOAL & ONE ASSIST IN SHANGHAI SHENHUA'S WIN "Our coach has made many impossible things happen, and I won a lot of championships with him in South Korea, so I believe that he can lead Shenhua to a good future."

ELVIS MANU TWO APPEARANCES SINCE MOVING TO BEIJING RENHE "It's not easy, like obviously the team is not in a good situation, so the new coach came and he's trying to adapt. I'm trying to adapt. He's trying to put the system in too, so it will take some weeks, but what I said, if we get a win, then from there we can move on."

Renhe end the match with a costly reminder to compete until the final whistle, when Kim sets up Qian Jiegei, also known as Alex N'Doumbou, for a tack-on tally to complete Shenhua's 4-1 rout in the dying seconds of stoppage time, moving the winners up one spot to 12th place, while sinking the home side deeper into the cellar, and making the task of digging out, a whole lot tougher.
