Sanzhen has returned to the top spot in the Chinese Super League (CSL) title race after defeating Beijing Guoan 2-1 on Sunday. The win was Sanzhen's fourth straight victory and moved them level on points with Guangzhou Evergrande at the top of the table.

The match was a closely contested affair, with both teams creating opportunities but failing to find the back of the net until the final few minutes. In the 88th minute, Sanzhen midfielder Zhang Ziyi scored a stunning goal from outside the box to put his team ahead. Despite being behind, Beijing Guoan fought back valiantly and equalized just three minutes later through a penalty kick.

In the end, however, it was Sanzhen who emerged victorious, thanks to their clinical finishing and solid defense. The win sees them move one point clear of Guangzhou Evergrande and firmly in control of the title race. With only four matches remaining, Sanzhen will be looking to maintain their lead and secure a first CSL title since 2015.

For Guangzhou Evergrande, the defeat was a blow to their hopes of retaining the title. However, they remain in second place and have a chance to catch up if they can continue their strong form in the remaining fixtures. Overall, this result is a testament to the quality of the players and coaching staff at Sanzhen, as well as their resilience and determination to succeed.
