HOHHOT, China, May 6 (Xinhua) -- Tianjin Teda sealed a big 5-1 win over Guizhou Hengfeng at home in the ninth round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on Sunday, giving the visiting team their fifth consecutive loss.

Two goals by Hui Jiakang gave the host Tianjin Teda a 2-0 lead in the first 28 minutes, and Mirahmetjan Muzepper netted a second-half free-kick. Frank Acheampong scored two goals for Tianjin Teda as well to enlarge the gap to 5-0.

Tjaronn Chery scored a face-saving goal during the injury time for Guizhou Hengfeng.

Guizhou Hengfeng sat at the bottom of the table after nine rounds with three points in hand.

Shandong Luneng missed the opportunity to top the table as Shanghai SIPG suffered a 2-1 defeat on Saturday. On the other hand, thanks to the goalkeeper Wang Dalei's excellent performance by shutting down one-on-one threats three times, the visiting Shandong Luneng tied Beijing Renhe 0-0. With 19 points, Shandong Luneng ranked second on goal difference.

Elsewhere on Sunday, Jiangsu Suning beat Changchun Yatai 2-0 at home. Enditem
