CHANGCHUN, China (Interstat) — Beijing Guoan opened its Chinese Super League season with a commanding 4-0 victory over Changchun Yatai on Saturday at Changchun Stadium. The win defied a pregame projection that had forecast a 1-1 draw.

Substitutes powered the offense for the visitors, with Fábio Abreu scoring twice and Zhang Yuning adding another goal. Sai Erjiniao opened the scoring in the 19th minute. Beijing’s defense held firm, securing a clean sheet and a 1-0 start to the CSL campaign, while Changchun Yatai begins the season 0-1.
