A stoppage time winner by substitute Ye Chugui gave Giovanni van Bronckhorst's Guangzhou R&F a stunning 1-0 victory over Rafa Benitez and Dalian Pro in a Chinese Super League Group A match on Monday in Dalian.
The win moves Guangzhou R&F into fifth place, level with Shenzhen on 14 points and just one behind fourth place Shanghai Shenhua for the last playoff spot in Group A.
Only the top four sides in the group will advance and avoid the relegation playoffs in the new format adopted after the CSL season was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
