GAO LIN GUANGZHOU EVERGRANDE STRIKER "It's been more difficult every year. Under such circumstances, we manage to hold on to the title thanks to efforts from all our staff. The title pays back our efforts in the best way. Every team has its ups and downs during the season. It was not easy, but we got through a dismal run and won a seventh title."
 
As for other results, Changchun downed Fabio Capello's Jiangsu 3-1. R&F won 2-1 at SIPG to hand their city rivals their seventh title in a row. Chongqing held Shanghai Shenhua 1-1. Beijing Guoan lost 2-0 at Tianjin Teda.
 
In the standings, Guangzhou's position at the top is unassailable for the seventh year in a row. SIPG are nine points behind with two games to spare, but have already sealed an AFC Champions League spot for next season. Hebei are third with 49 points, followed by Tianjin Quanjian who are just one point behind.
