Guangzhou's Zhang Linpeng scored the opener in the 23rd minute. In the second half, Robinho scored his first goal for Evergrande in the 57th. Michael Barrantes pulled one back for Shenxin in the 59th.

Yu Hanchao collected Zou Zheng's left-wing pass and scored in the 76th. Two minutes later, Ricardo Goulart's clean pass in the penalty area helped Robinho score his second.

Shenxin was awarded a penalty kick in the 86th and Barrantes scored, which was still not enough to save his team.
