CSL: Eran Zahavi’s 100th Guangzhou R&F goal saves point as Kim Shin-wook snatches Shanghai Shenhua win
- South Korean striker Kim Shin-wook scores winner for Shanghai Shenhua in injury time to beat Shandong Luneng
- Last season’s golden boot scores first goal of season to secure Giovanni Van Bronckhorst’s first point as Guangzhou R&F boss
Last season’s Chinese Super League golden boot winner Eran Zahavi scored his 100th goal for Guangzhou R&F on Wednesday night to give the struggling side their first point of the season.
The Israeli striker stretched to poke home at the back post of Henan Jianye goalkeeper Wu Yan on 59 minutes from a knock-down after a free-kick. This equalised Feng Boxuan’s 10th-minute volleyed opener.
“It's a great honour for me to achieve this. I want to thank all the people who helped me in the process,” Zahavi said after the game.
“The most important thing for us is to move forward, and try to take the first win and more points.”
Last year Zahavi set a new CSL record with 29 goals, surpassing Guangzhou Evergrande’s Elkeson previous high of 28 in a season set in 2014.
There was drama in Wednesday’s other group A meeting in Dalian where Shanghai Shenhua and Shandong Luneng met.
