Guangzhou Evergrande claimed top spot in the Chinese Super League today thanks to a 1-0 win at Tianjin Taida. Feng Xiaoting's 32nd-minute strike proved decisive and moved unbeaten Guangzhou a point clear of Beijing Guoan at the summit.

In today's other game in the Chinese top flight, struggling Shenzhen picked up only their fifth point of the season in a 1-1 home draw against Qingdao Zhongneng.

Luiz Marcos' goal after 16 minutes had looked to have secured victory for the mid-table visitors, but Takashi Rakuyama equalised 20 minutes from time to lift the hosts off the bottom on goal difference at the expense of Nanchang Bayi.
