In the 18th round of the Chinese League that ended on the evening of July 20, Beijing time, in a much-watched "Guangdong Derby", the Guangzhou team defeated Foshan Southern Lions 3-0 and won the first win in nearly four home games. After winning this battle, the Guangzhou team also temporarily rose to 5th place in the standings.

In this game, both sides sent a starting lineup of 3 foreign players. In just nine minutes of the opening game, the Guangzhou team took the lead. Alegria's header was ferried, and Zhang Zhixiong made a sweeping contribution in front of the goal.

It was the first official goal of the 17-year-old's career. It's a lot of sense. In two months, Zhang Zhixiong will turn 18 years old.

In the 30th minute, the Guangzhou team extended its lead, and Alegria volleyed at the top of the arc at the edge of the penalty area and went into the net.

In the second minute of stoppage time of the half, Aishajiang crossed from the right, and Alegria scored a brace with a header from the middle, completing 2 shots and 1 pass in this game, and the number of individual league goals has reached 11. The Guangzhou team entered the halftime break with a three-goal advantage.

Yibian fought again, and neither side was able to score again. In the 93rd minute, Wang Junyang fell to the ground and shoveled down Fortes, and the referee directly showed a red card and sent him off. The youngster, born in 2007, couldn't control his emotions and cried out after he got off the field, and his teammates comforted him.

After winning this game, the Guangzhou team finally ended the embarrassment of the previous 3 home games without a win (2 draws and 1 loss) in the league. After winning this campaign, the Guangzhou team accumulated 29 points in 18 rounds, 8 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses, temporarily surpassing Suzhou Dongwu, which was not played in this round, to the 5th place in the standings, only 1 point away from the 4th Guangxi team.

In the next round of the game, the Guangzhou team will challenge the leader Yunnan Yukun, which is undoubtedly a difficult test for the Guangzhou team.
