Hey there, soccer fans! ⚽ Guess what? Beijing Guoan is getting really close to the top spot in the Chinese Super League! Let’s find out how they did it!
On Saturday, Beijing Guoan won their match against Changchun Yatai with a score of 2-1. That means they’ve won 8 games this season and haven’t lost any of their 13 matches so far! Isn’t that amazing?
What’s even more exciting is that the two teams ahead of them, Shanghai Shenhua and Chengdu Rongcheng, both lost their matches. That gives Beijing Guoan a chance to catch up and maybe even take over first place! 🥇
The first goal for Beijing Guoan was a bit of a gift from the other team’s goalkeeper. He accidentally passed the ball to Beijing’s player Zhang Xizhe, who scored quickly. Oops! 😮 Then, they scored again a few minutes later when Fabio Abreu helped set up a goal for Cao Yongjing.
Changchun Yatai tried hard to catch up and scored a goal near the end, but it wasn’t enough. Beijing Guoan won the game!
Now, since Beijing Guoan has played one fewer game than the other teams, they have a great chance. This is called having a ‘game in hand’. If they win their next game against Qingdao West Coast on Tuesday, they could move up to first place! How exciting is that?
Do you think they can do it? Let’s cheer them on! 🎉
Stay tuned to see what happens next in this thrilling soccer season!
