RESULT | Augusto and Li Ke score in the 2-1 win over Henan Jianye

Beijing Sinobo Guoan FC played their fifth CSL match at home tonight against Henan Jianye. Despite the many chances created by the home side in the first half, the scoresheet remained goalless. The deadlock was broken by Renato Augusto in the 55^th minute from the twelve-yard spot. Later, our vice-captain joined the second goal by assisting Li Ke to tap in his first CSL goal in the 68^th minute. Li Ke's goal was also the first goal scored by a naturalised Chinese player in the CSL history. The away side scored from a penalty kick as well in the 72^nd minute. The game finished 2-1 as Beijing Sinobo Guoan FC increased their consecutive win record in 2019 CSL to five games as well as refreshed their best start to a CSL season.
