2 – 4
“Fábio Abreu opened the scoring against the run of play, converting an assist from Tze Nam Yue after a period of early Tianjin pressure that had included a blocked Guilherme Schettine effort and a corner. It was a cold-blooded away goal that rewarded Beijing's patience.”
Pivotal“Dawhan struck just before the whistle to send Beijing into half-time 2-0 up, punishing Tianjin's profligacy in front of goal and giving the visitors a platform that would prove unassailable.”
Pivotal“Within three minutes of the restart, Beijing's half-time triple substitution paid off spectacularly. Cao Yongjing, on for Zhang Yuning just moments earlier, converted from a corner situation to make it 3-0 — the goal that definitively ended Tianjin as a competitive force in the match.”
Pivotal“Fábio Abreu wrapped up his brace and sealed the rout, making it 4-0 within eight minutes of the second half's start and ensuring there would be no way back for the hosts regardless of any tactical changes.”
Pivotal“Alberto Quiles, who had been involved early in the match with a wayward header, had the last word when he converted an 87th-minute corner to give the scoreline a final flourish, assisted by Xadas — a goal that completed Tianjin's consolation rally but changed nothing in the story of the night.”

Outstanding performance
Beijing Guoan•AttackerBeijing Guoan arrived at Tianjin as leaders chasing maximum points in a tight title race, and they delivered with ruthless efficiency despite being largely second-best across broad statistical categories. Fábio Abreu broke the deadlock in the 16th minute, converting a move that had begun from a corner, and Dawhan doubled the advantage just before half-time — two sucker punches that belied Tianjin's territorial dominance. The real damage came in the opening minutes of the second half: Beijing's triple substitution at the interval produced an almost instant dividend, with Cao Yongjing converting a corner-derived chance in the 49th minute before Fábio Abreu added a fourth four minutes later, effectively ending the contest before the hour mark. The statistics told a paradoxical story — Tianjin controlled 71 percent of dominance, created six big chances but missed five of them, and had ten corners to Beijing's one, yet it was the visitors' clinical edge from just nine shots that proved decisive. Late goals from Junxian Liu and Alberto Quiles gave the scoreline a slightly more respectable look for the hosts, but this was a night that underscored the gap in quality at the top of the Super League table.
