Beijing Guoan secured their place in the CSL Round 3 finals with a hard-fought victory over Tianjin Jinmen Tiger on Sunday. The match was played at the Beijing Workers' Stadium and saw both teams put up a strong fight throughout.
In the first half, it was Tianjin who took the lead through a well-taken goal from midfielder Liang Wenbo. However, Beijing Guoan quickly responded with a well-worked goal of their own, courtesy of striker Zhang Shun's header off a corner kick.
The second half was more evenly contested, with both teams creating chances but unable to score. It was only in the final few minutes that Beijing Guoan sealed the win, with defender Wang Xiangzhe scoring the decisive goal after a long-range shot from outside the box.
The victory means that Beijing Guoan has returned to winning ways after losing their previous two matches. They will now face either Shanghai SIPG or Guangzhou Evergrande in the semi-finals, which will be played on Wednesday.
Overall, it was a solid performance from Beijing Guoan, who showed great resilience and determination throughout the match. Their victory is a testament to their team spirit and ability to overcome adversity.
