We make our way to Workers Stadium, for a match-up between Beijing Guo'an and Chinese Super League champs Guangzhou Evergrande. The Capital Club fighting back from a 2-nil deficit to earn a draw. An impressive feat for the team led by coach Roger Schmidt, whose time in China may be coming to a close with rumours suggesting he is heading back to Germany. Our Mike Fox has that story.

A clash between two of the most prominent club in the Chinese Super League. Guoan have the tradition, but Evergrande have the success. An eighth title in a row is the ultimate aim for the side from South China, but with both teams evenly matched in terms of form at the start of play, we could be seeing a much more competitive league this season.

And the Italian World Cup winner would have been delighted as he watched his team go into a 2-nil lead. But after a clumsy last man challenge from Deng Hawen led to Renato Augusto's successful kick, the 44-year-old then witnessed a last-gasp equaliser from Cedric Bakambu. The home side battling back from 2-down for the second successive game, and it was their African big money man getting the leveller once again.

Beijing paid 74 million euros for the 27-year-old, the highest amount ever for an African player, and the Congolese is enjoying his time in the Chinese capital and isn't thinking about his hefty price tag.

Moreover, Guoan's coach, has been the subject of recent speculation in his native Germany. After the revelation of Niko Kovac becoming the new Bayern Munich coach next season, Roger Schmidt has been linked with taking the soon to be vacant position at Frankfurt. However, the ex-Leverkusen boss insists his future lies at the Workers Stadium.

ROGER SCHMIDT BEIJING GUOAN COACH "I've mentioned it before. I'm happy at Beijing. We are trying to build a competitive team and my work has been going smooth here. My relations with the management staff is great so based on the current situation, I cannot imagine that I'll leave the club any time soon."

It was a night of the wet and wonderful in front of 56,000 fans. Evergrande will very much be expecting another title come to the end of the season, and while expectations aren't as high for Guoan, a first CSL title in eight years. It's not impossible if they continue to show the same fight in every contest. Mike Fox, CGTN.
