Summary edit

Pre-season edit

A whole host of action came in the first month of the pre-season. On 8 January 2022, Beijing Guoan parted ways with head coach Slaven Bilić after one season.[1] On 14 January 2022, Xie Feng, a club legend and three-time interim coach for Guoan, was named as the new head coach.[2] Wang Ziming and Yu Yang signed contract extensions until the end of 2025 and 2022 respectively on 29 January.[3] The next day, Guoan announced the return of Zhang Chengdong.[4]

In early February, Guoan began its winter training camp in Kunming with the goal of improving player fitness.[5] The team played a training match against Beijing Sports University on 26 February with Guoan winning 6–1. Wang Ziming and Liu Guobo each scored a double, with Li Boxi and Liang Shaowen adding to Guoan's tally.[6] March 8, Guoan players relocated to Shanghai to continue their preseason preparation, but the training camp was disrupted after Shanghai suffered an intense wave of COVID-19 outbreak. The team scrambled and relocated to Haikou to continue their training on March 18, which lasted until March 31.[7] On March 28 during an interview with the Beijing-based television network BTV, manager Xie Feng confirmed the signing of defender Kang Sang-Woo, midfielder Samir Memišević and winger Samuel Adegbenro, and that the team hopes to bring in another attacker and midfielder respectively before the end of the transfer window.[8] The other attacker turned on to be Marko Dabro as the club officially announced his transfer to Guoan along with the other aforementioned players on 15 and 16 April respectively.[9][10] Later on 22 April, Guoan announced the singing of young striker Tian Yuda. He was given the number 29 shirt.[11]

Guoan traveled to Meizhou, the city in which Guoan's CSL games would be played in tournament style, and began their last pre-season training camp on 13 May.[12] On 23 May, CSL announced that its 2022 season would officially commence on 3 June.[13]

June edit

The first game of the season came on 5 June against Cangzhou Mighty Lions. The team lined up with a new 3-5-2 system featuring a back line composed of academy graduate Liang Shaowen, midfielder-as-center-back Zhang Chengdong and captain Yu Dabao. New transfers Samir Memišević, Samuel Adegbenro, Kang Sang-woo also featured in the starting line-up. In the first half, both team traded chances with Guoan seemingly the better team earning numerous corners. However, an attacking misadventure from Liang Shaowen allowed Cangzhou players to poach the ball away, which led to a quick counter that saw Guoan concede its first in the season 43 minutes into the game. Trading sides, Guoan created a great chance just 20 seconds after the break with Gao Tianyi testing the opposition keeper with a close range slice in the box. In the 51st minute, another quick Cangzhou counter broke through Guoan's lines, forcing Zhang Chengdong into a last-ditch tackle attempt that saw him sent off. Chances were few and far between with Guoan a man down. To make matters worse, Adegbenro was ruled by VAR to have committed a foul while fighting for a loose ball in the Guoan box in the 74th minute, giving away a penalty that put Guoan 0–2 behind. Cangzhou saw one of its players sent off in the 87th minute equalizing the number of players for both teams, and Yu Dabao took advantage of a corner chaos to pull one back for Guoan in the 92nd minute, but it was too little and too late. Guoan ended the match with a 1–2 loss and start the season with a defeat for the second season in a row.[14]

Guoan's second game of the season took place on 8 June against Chengdu Rongcheng. The game proved to be tough for both teams due to the heavy rain and generated a fair share of controversies.[15] All goals were scored directly from or indirectly as a result of set pieces. Guoan took the lead with Jin Pengxiang scoring in the 11th minute after firing a shot from outside the box as the opposition struggled to clear Adegbenro's attempt after a free kick chaos. Chengdu, however, forced a Hou Sen mistake and own goal in the 25th as the ball slipped out of his hand while he tried to claim the ball in the air. Memišević put Guoan in the lead as his header from a Zhang Xizhe free kick hit the back of Chengdu's goalie and ended up in the back of the neck in the 31st. In the 41st minute, Chengdu's Abduhamit Abdugheni was sent off for head-butting Zhang Yuning after a foul, and Zhang scored a direct free kick just 4 minute later to put Guoan up 3–1. Just at the dead of the first half, Guoan conceded another to Chengdu, entering half time 3–2. In the second half, neither team managed to score, but Chengdu collected two more red cards in the 71st and 90th minute respectively, ending the game with 8 players.[16] Another controversy from the game emerged as the referee Li Zheng blew the final whistle only 3 minutes into the 5-minute added time and had to call the team back after the players began walking off the field.[17] The game ended as a 2–3 Guoan victory, giving the team its first win of the season.

Guoan's CSL campaign continued on 11 June against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. While Tianjin threatened Guoan's goal multiple times, it was the new arrival and late substitute Marko Dabro who latched on to a Zhang Yuning cross and sent the ball past Tianjin's keeper in the 86th minute for a debut goal. The game ended 1–0 for Guoan, extending the win streak to two games and lifting the team up to 6th place after 3 matchdays.[18] Despite the victory, long-time sportswriter Zhao Yu warned against optimism, stating that the win was very difficult and that the team lack midfield presence when attacking.[19]

Guoan played against the newly promoted Meizhou Hakka on 17 June. In the 9th minute, Zhang Yuning put Guoan ahead by striking the ball clean into the net after Memišević touched it to Zhang in a free kick. In the 13th minute, however, Jin Pengxiang was on the receiving end of a bad foul and had to be stretchered off the field. Despite the setback, Guoan scored again in the 20th minute; it was again Zhang Yuning who tapped into the net a cross after a nice series of moves in the penalty area by youngster Liu Guobo. The team's lead got cut in half just three minutes later, but the game tipped in Guoan's favor in the 40th minute when Meizhou player Yang Chaosheng was shown a second yellow for shoving Chi Zhongguo. Yet, the game did not get easier for Guoan in the second half as Meizhou piled on the pressure by substituting on attacking players, which overwhelmed Guoan's defense despite having a one-man advantage. Guoan conceded in the 65th minute from a header at the end of a corner cross and failed to generate much opportunities in the latter 45 minutes of the game, ending the game in a 2–2 draw that saw the team slip to 7th place.[20][21]

On 21 June, Guoan faced off against Shenzhen in the CSL. Zhang Yuning, continuing his good run of forms, helped Guoan to a 1–0 lead by heading in a Zhang Xizhe corner to the far side of the goal. For the rest of the first half, Shenzhen tried their luck from outside the box, but Guoan's defense did well to block the shots. Switching sides, Guoan grabbed another goal in the 52nd minute through Yu Dabao, who tapped the ball into the net after Zhang Xizhe sent in a cross from the left wing and Memišević flicked the ball on while falling to the ground. Memišević orchestrated Guoan's next goal as well as he sent a cross-field long ball to a surging Wang Gang, who lifted the ball across the goal for another Zhang Yuning header. Shenzhen pulled one back through a direct free kick, but Wang Ziming helped Guoan seal the game by finishing off a rebound from a Memišević shot in the 88th minute.[22] The game, finished as a 4–1 Guoan victory, proved to be one of the best yet in the season and helped the team climb up to 5th place in the table, just three points behind the leader. Zhang Yuning also rose to the top of the golden boot race with 5 goals after 5 matchdays with the media hailing him as the "best Chinese center forward" at the moment.[23] Later, Zhang Yuning was named the Player of the Round by the league.[24]

On 24 June, the club announced midfielder Li Ke has temporarily left the team to return to London and receive his third surgery in the past 18 months to address the popliteal artery entrapment syndrome his legs are suffering from.[25][26] Li Ke has not capped for Guoan since May 2021 due to injuries. The next day, Guoan played against Cangzhou in matchday 6 of the CSL. In the 7th minute, Guoan conceded first as a missed Kang Sang-woo interception led to a goal for Cangzhou. A controversy arose in the 34th minute as the ball hit one of Cangzhou's defenders in the box from a Guoan corner, but the referee refused to give the penalty kick after VAR review. A chance finally came for Guoan in the 83rd minute as the referee awarded a penalty for Guoan after Liu Huan was bodied in the opposition box. Zhang Yuning stepped up and sent the ball past the keeper, tying the game with his 6th goal of the season. Guoan would end the game in a 1–1 draw.[27]

Guoan played Chengdu Rongcheng on 30 June. Manager Xie Feng rotated the team with Kang Sang-woo and Yu Dabao starting the game on the sidelines. After two competitive halves in which Guoan looked worse than their opponents both in attack and in defense, the game ended in a goalless draw. Despite maintaining 5th place with the tie, Guoan is now 7 points behind league leader Wuhan Three Towns after 7 matchdays.[28]

July edit

On 3 July, Guoan faced off against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. Zhang Yuning headed a Piao Cheng free kick into the net in the second minute of the game, but the goal was overruled as offside and disallowed after VAR review. Attacks came from both sides for the remainder of the first half, but nothing materialized for either team. Four minutes into the second half, successful pressure from Guoan in the opposition half allowed Kang Sang-woo to dig in a cross from the left flank, which Memišević headed into the net. 20 minutes later, a Nebijan Muhmet cross from a free kick on the right was again headed into the net by Memišević, doubling Guoan's lead. Tianjin pulled a goal back in the 76th minute with a shot from outside the box, but Guoan was able to maintain its lead to the end, winning the match 1–2 and remain in 5th place. Both manager Xie Feng and assistant manager Cao Xiandong were red-carded in the 80th minute for protesting a call from the referee.[29] Memišević was later named one of the two Best Players of the Round by the league.[30]

The Chinese FA announced on 6 July that the second phase of this year's CSL is expected to return to the regular home-and-away game format for the rest of the competition, starting with matchday 11 in August through matchday 34 in December.[31] Guoan's home stadium remains unclear at the moment given the ongoing renovation at the Workers' Stadium, and whether the municipal government will relax COVID-19-related travel restrictions to accommodate games in Beijing is uncertain.[32]

Guoan's matchday 10 game against Meizhou Hakka came on 7 July. In the first half, a Meizhou goal along with goals from Piao Cheng and Zhang Yuning were all disallowed. In the second half, both teams traded chances but none materialized as the game ended in a 0–0 draw and extending Guoan's unbeaten run to 8 games. Zhang Yuning was injured in the 79th minute of the game and left the field with later reports confirming that he dislocated his shoulder and sustained other injuries in the shoulder area. He left the team and returned to Beijing for further treatment.[33][34]

Guoan played its last game in the first phase of this season's CSL on 11 July against Shenzhen. Wang Gang took the lead for Guoan in the 28th minute after he produced a spectacular finish from outside the box after Kang Sang-woo knocked back from the left flank a Memišević long ball. Despite continued Shenzhen pressure, Guoan managed to keep the lead until the 57th minute, when Hou Sen failed to punch clear a Shenzhen long shot that led to an easy tap-in for the opposition. Manager Xie Feng's substitution later in the game failed to generate the desired effect, and Guoan conceded again through a corner situation in the 85th minute. The game ended as a 2–1 loss for Guoan, its first in 8 games. Despite the loss, Guoan maintains its 5th place in the league table ahead of Shanghai Port and Shenzhen heading into the next phase thanks to its higher goal difference.[35]

On 27 July, news broke that the Beijing municipal government has not approved Guoan to play home games in stadiums in the city. Therefore, as the league returns to a system of home and away games starting 6 August, Guoan will be playing its home games in neutral ground Haikou, Hainan.[36]

August edit

Guoan played its first game in front an audience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic on 7 August in an away match against Henan Songshan Longmen with over 6,000 fans inside the Hanghai Stadium. The game, however, started poorly for Guoan with Yu Dabao receiving a yellow card after only 4 minutes for protesting. Soon after Memišević hit the post, Guoan conceded its first goal of the game in the 8th minute as the ball slipped under Hou Sen's legs from a Henan corner. Henan scored against in the 40th minute after passing its way through Guoan's two lines of defense. In the 90th minute, Guoan received the final blow as Henan's Karanga calmly finished a one-on-one with Hou Sen. The assist that led to the final goal came from Toni Šunjić, who was acquired by Guoan and sold to Henan without ever capping for the former. Guoan ends the game with a 3–0 defeat, sliding to 8th in the standings and sitting 15 points behind league leader Wuhan Three Towns, Guoan's opponent for the following matchday.[37]

On 10 August, Guoan announced that Rizhao International Football Center in Rizhao, Shandong will be the temporary home ground for Guoan for the remainder of the season after Guoan was rejected from playing in Beijing due to COVID-19 related regulations.[38]

Guoan played its next CSL game away against Wuhan Three Towns on 12 August. Manager Xie Feng attempted new tactics after two consecutive losses by opting to start Cao Yongjing and Nebijan Muhmet and playing captain Yu Dabao at attacking midfield rather than at the center back position he had been playing more recently. However, the game did not go Guoan's way as the team allowed Three Towns's Marcão to score four goals and Davidson to add another. Guoan's only response came from Zhang Yuning in the 45th minute. With a stunning 5–1 loss, Guoan's largest defeat this season, the team slipped further down the table and recorded its third defeat in a role.[39] Manager Xie Feng resigned after the game and Guoan named reserve team head coach Sui Dongliang as acting manager performing day-to-day coaching duties; however, because Sui does not have the necessary license to coach China's top flight, fellow Guoan official Wei Kexing is listed as the official manager of the team.[40]

Guoan remained in Wuhan after the coaching shake-up and played Wuhan Yangtze River on matchday 13 on 17 August. New acting manager Sui Dongliang dropped Chang Zhengdong and Hou Sen from the lineup and reinstated Kang Sang-woo as well as Zou Dehai. Dabro was also named in the starting eleven and was tasked to play on the right wing. Guoan started the game well as Zhang Xizhe recorded his first goal of the season in the 21st minute thanks to a Dabro assist. In the 62nd minute, Guoan went 2–0 up after Kang Sang-woo latched on to Zhang Yuning's cross-field pass from a counterattack and slotted the ball past Wuhan Yangtze's keeper, scoring his first goal for the club. In the 67th minute, Kang Sang-woo returned the favor to Zhang Yuning by setting the latter up with a cross from the left flank, which Zhang headed into the net and giving Guoan a 3–0 lead. In the 84th minute, Zhang Yuning assisted substitute Cao Yongjing to put Guoan four goals up. Before the final whistle blew, Zou Dehai made a risky pass that resulted in a Wuhan Yangtze goal. Guoan finished the game 4–1, snapping a three-game loss streak in emphatic fashion. The game also saw Hou Yongyong return to action for the first time since sustaining injury in 2020.[41]

Guoan played 17th-place Guangzhou City on 22 August. Guoan took the lead just 9 minutes into the game with Zhang Xizhe powering the ball into the net on the edge of the box after a series of delicate passing. In the 38th minute, Guoan was awarded a penalty as Zhang Yuning was fouled in the penalty area. However, Zhang Yuning missed the ensuing penalty. Right before the halftime whistle, Kang Sang-woo scored but the goal was ruled off side after extensive VAR review. Rain covered the stadium and pitch starting in the second half, making conditions difficult for both team. Kang was fouled in the 73rd minute, but Zhang Yuning's penalty was saved again. Guoan ended the game with a 1–0 victory.[42]

26 August saw Guoan face off against old rival [zh] Shanghai Shenhua. Despite maintaining a high possession and having more shots and corners across both halves, Guoan conceded a goal each in the 30th and 34th minute. The game ended with a 0–2 Guoan loss.[43]

On 29 August, Guoan announced former reserve coach Stanley Menzo as the team's manager. Menzo had previously coached the first team in a 2020 Chinese FA Cup match.[44]

September edit

Menzo's first match as manager for the Guoan first team came on 6 September against Zhejiang. Although Guoan conceded in the 18th minute from a set piece, the team rallied and pulled one back in the 25th when Wang Gang's crossed skipped past Dabro and was finished off by Zhang Yuning. Zhang doubled his tally when he latched on to a through ball by Gao Tianyi in the 66th minute. The game, however, ended in a 2–2 draw as Memišević gave a penalty, which Zhejiang converted, in the 77th minute.[45]

Guoan played against league-bottom Hebei on 14 September. Zhang Xizhe opened up the scoring via a calm penalty in the 28th minute after Dabro's strike was deflected by the arm of the opposition defender. With the goal, Zhang Xizhe tied Cédric Bakambu and once again became the top goalscorer in club history. Guoan gave a goal away in the 34th minute after Hebei slotted one past Zou Dehai's near side, but Wang Ziming quickly struck back in the 36th minute with an instinctive header across the Hebei goal off of a Dabro cross. Zhang Yuning increased Guoan's tally in the 50th minute after Gao Tianyi threaded a through ball into the Hebei penalty area. The game finished 3–1 in Guoan's favor, giving the club its 350th top-tier league win.[46]

After a short hiatus due to various COVID-19 outbreaks across China, Guoan's next game came on 24 September against Dalian Pro. The team got off to a rather challenging start, conceding a goal and a yellow card in the first 20 minutes. However, Zhang Xizhe took it upon himself and scored in the 25th minute to level the game. The goal, his 49th for the club, means he now occupies the top of Guoan's all-time goalscorer list alone. 10 minutes later, Zhang missed a penalty. Late in the second half in the 81st minute, Zhang Yuning took the lead for Guoan as he finished off a Memišević rebound, but Dalian immediately equalized. Guoan ended the match with a 2–2 draw, holding 9th place in the league.[47]

October edit

Guoan's season continued on 5 October against Shanghai Port. Gao Tianyi opened the scoring for Guoan in the 22nd minute following a confusion off of a corner, scoring his first goal for the club. Later in the game, Zou Dehai sustained an injury and was replaced by Hou Sen. Zhang Yuning and Adegbenro hit the post in succession, but neither teams were able to score. Guoan finished the game with a 1–0 victory.[48]

Guoan faced Shandong Taishan next on 9 October. Both teams traded chances in the opening minutes, but it was Gao Tianyi who opened the scoring for Guoan in the 28th minute with a shot from outside the box. Shandong, however, leveled in the 39th minute from a chaotic defense situation. In the 53rd minute, Zhang Xizhe arched a corner from the right side of the pitch and Yu Dabao calmly headed the ball past the goalkeeper. Guoan went two goals up in the 74th thanks to a Zhang Xizhe set piece and Gao Tianyi header. In the final minutes, Shandong pulled two goals back via a set piece and a Wang Gang-conceded penalty after VAR review. The game ended 3–3.[49]

In the afternoon on 24 October, Guoan's league campaign resumed against Changchun Yatai. Yatai put the ball in the net in the 7th minute, but the goal was called back after VAR review. In the 35th minute, it was Guoan who took the lead thanks to Zhang Yuning's header at the end of an arching Zhang Xizhe cross. Neither team made further progress in the second half, and the game ended 1–0 in favor of Guoan. With the win, Guoan secured its 6th game in a row without losing.[50]

Guoan played against Guangzhou on 29 October. In what turned out to be a thumping first half, Guoan put 4 past Guangzhou. Zhang Yuning opened the scoring from a Zhang Xizhe corner in the 10th minute. In the 21st minute, Zhang Yuning knocked the ball to Adegbenro right in front of Guangzhou's goal, setting the latter up for his first goal for Guoan. The onslaught continued with Memišević finishing off a Zhang Xizhe corner with a header, and Adegbenro doubled his tally for the day from a chaotic set piece situation. In the second half, Guoan decided to substitute and rest a few key players, and eventually conceded one to Guangzhou in the 76th minute. Guoan finished the gam 4–1, extending its undefeated run to 7 games.[51]

November edit

Guoan's first game of November came against Henan Songshan Longmen on 4 November. Guoan took the lead in the 13th minute thanks to Zhang Xizhe threading the ball past two lines of defense; Zhang Yuning latched on to the ball, touched it past the opposition keeper and scored his 15th goal of this CSL campaign. In the 74th minute, Guoan players failed to clear the ball from danger, conceding a long-ranged effort from the top of the box. Approaching the final minutes of the game, Adegbenro attempted a one-on-one inside Henan's box and was subsequently tripped over by a Henan defender. The referee pointed to the penalty spot, and Kang Sang-woo sent keeper the wrong way to restore Guoan's lead in the 90th minute. The game ended 2–1 in Guoan's favor, and the team extended its unbeaten streak to 8 games.[52]

Guoan played league leader Wuhan Three Towns on the night of 8 November. After a heated first half, Guoan conceded after Hou Sen slipped in the area and then failed to gain control of the ball, resulting in an easy tap-in for Three Towns. Guoan continued to pressure in the second half, but had no chance after Bai Yang tripped a Three Towns player in Guoan's own box and giving away a penalty. Guoan ended the game 0–2, ending the defeat-less 8-game run.[53]

Few nights after on 13 November, Guoan played Wuhan Yangtze River. Two teams traded chances in the first half, but nothing came to fruition for either team. Trading sides, it was Guoan who conceded first. Hou Sen, trying to deny a Wuhan shot, rushed out of the goal, but was judged to have tripped the opposition player. Despite picking the right side, Hou was unable to stop the penalty, resulting in Guoan being a goal down in the 52nd minute. The situation changed for Guoan immediately afterwards, however. Memišević sent in a long cross from right midfield that skipped between two Wuhan defenders to land right in front of Adegbenro, who calmly put the ball past the keeper to tie the game up in the 55th minute. Less than 10 minutes late after a series of delicate touches, Wang Ziming sent the ball across the box with Wang Gang following up for another goal for Guoan. In added time, Guoan took advantage of a counterattack situation and Adegbenro set up Kang Sang-woo with a cross from the edge of the box for a third goal. The game ended with a 3–1 comeback victory Guoan.[54]

On 17 November, Guoan embarked on the campaign for this season's Chinese FA Cup against Jingchuan Wenhui, a team from the fourth-tier Chinese Football Association Member Association Champions League. Guoan named a rotated squad featuring young and fringe players. Against all odds, Jingchuan opened the scoring just 4 minutes into the game via a direct free kick. In the 35th minute, Guoan leveled via Liu Guobo from a Ruan Qilong cross. In the second half, Guoan grabbed the lead in the 54th minute after Cao Yongjing converted from the spot a penalty earned by Ruan Qilong. However, Guoan's defense would make a mistake in the 70th minute that allows Jingchuan to tie the game 2–2. With both team failing to score in regulation, the game moved to penalties. Both teams made the first three respectively. Fourth in line to take the penalty, Jin Taiyan missed. With Jingchuan scoring its fourth and fifth, Guoan was eliminated from the FA Cup in just the second round. Chinese media widely consider Guoan's defeat extremely surprising.[55]

After the disappointing and shocking exit in the CFA Cup, Guoan resumed its league campaign on 21 November against Guangzhou City. It took Zhang Yuning only 3 minutes to open the scoring for Guoan, heading into the net a Kang Sang-woo cross at close range. In the 23rd minute, Kang Sang-woo got himself on the scoresheet via a strike from outside the box. In the 54th minute, Yu Dabao was sent off for a last-ditched tackle to stop a Guangzhou break. A man down, Nebijan Muhmet was judged to have impeded a Guangzhou player inside the box in the 60th minute, but the penalty call was overruled by VAR. In the final minutes of the game, Guangzhou gained and scored a penalty as the result of a Cao Yongjing handball within the penalty area. Despite Guangzhou's late insurgency, Guoan managed the 1–2 victory, leapfrogging the team to 4th in the league standings.[56]

Guoan faced off against old rival Shanghai Shenhua on 25 November. In the 7th minute, Guoan conceded first after the ball fell for the opponent in front of goal after a scramble. In the second half, it was Guoan who opened the scoring via Zhang Xizhe in the 54th minute. Wang Gang sent the ball to the center of the penalty area, which was deflected to Zhang Xizhe's feet. Taking a few moments to feign a shot, Zhang Xizhe neatly tucked the ball into the bottom corner of the goal. With the goal, Zhang Xizhe is now joint top with Cédric Bakambu as the club's top scorer in all competitions with 58 goals; Zhang Xizhe also became the first Guoan player to score 50 league goals in his career.[57] Zhang Yuning added to Guoan's tally in the 76th minute with a powerful strike just on the edge of the box after Gao Tianyi set him up with a short touch. Shenhua piled on the attack after going a goal down, but was unable to tie the game. Guoan ended the game with a 1–2 comeback victory, notching a three-game win streak.[58]

On the last day of November, Guoan played against Zhejiang in a crucial match for the team's ambition to remain in the top four spots. The game started off seemingly well for Guoan. Zhang Yuning won a penalty in the 4th minute, although it was overturned by VAR; Yu Dabao scored in the 34th, but was ruled offside. However, in the second minute of added time in the first half, it was Zhejiang who broke through and scored the first goal of the game. In the 62nd minute after a series of threatening chances, Zhejiang scored again. Wang Ziming had yet again put the ball in Zhejiang's net for Guoan, but the goal was once more deemed offside. Guoan concluded the game with a 2–0 loss, dropping down to 7th in the standings and snapping a three-game win streak.[59]

December edit

Guoan's first game in December was against Dalian Pro. After a fruitless first half from both teams, Dalian was first to open the scoring in the 49th minute through a set piece header. Dalian doubled its lead in the 76th minute with a strike from outside the box. Former Guoan player Lü Peng gave Dalian its third goal after a miscommunication between Guoan defenders and Hou Sen caused the latter to rush out the box and slip, therefore giving Lü an open goal to aim for. In the 92nd minute, Wang Ziming scored Guoan's consolation goal by latching onto a through-ball by Chi Zhongguo. Guoan ended the game with a 1–3 loss.[60]

Guoan's form turned around as they played league last and already-relegated Hebei on 10 December. Forced to rotate the squad due to injuries, suspensions and loan prohibition, Menzo named youngster Ruan Qilong to the starting lineup. He was asked to play as a defensive midfielder, different from his usual central defender position. Ruan proved to be the key player in the game as he thumped the ball into the Hebei net from outside the box in the 32nd minute to give Guoan the lead. Liu Huan doubled Guoan's advantage in the 42nd minute with a ranged strike that dipped just as it reached the Hebei keeper and forced erroneous save. In the second half after a Zhang Xizhe corner was knocked outside the penalty area in the 55th minute, Ruan Qilong latched onto the ball with another powerful ranged strike, putting Guoan 3–0 ahead. Final goal in the game came in the 68th minute as Pan Ximing from Hebei headed the ball into the team's own net as he attempted to clear a Zhang Xizhe cross. Guoan emerged victorious in the end with a 4–0 scoreline, returning to winning forms and handing Hebei their 23rd consecutive defeat in CSL.[61]

Guoan played against Changchun Yatai on 15 December. Due to COVID-19 outbreak within the team, Yatai had opted to start many youngsters. Guoan took the lead in the 30th minute with a header by Wang Ziming at the end of a Kang Sang-woo cross. After the break, Wang Ziming doubled his tally in the 51st minute by curving the ball past the opposition defender and keeper. Kang Sang-woo was fouled inside the box in the 61st minute, and Zhang Yuning converted the subsequent penalty to put Guoan three goals up. The game ended with a 3–0 victory for Guoan.[62]

Guoan faced off against Guangzhou on 23 December. The game was difficult for the team as a majority of the first team had contracted COVID-19 and was unable to play. Menzo was forced to name numerous players from the club's youth ranks in the starting eleven and had only four bench players. In the 7th minute, debutant Ling Zhongyang committed a foul in the penalty area which Guangzhou converted, leaving the team one goal down. However, the team fought back. In the 32nd minute, fellow debutant Yan Yu scored with a header from a corner, leveling the game at 1–1 and notching his first top-tier goal. A mere two minutes later, Duan Dezhi, another youngster playing his first CSL match, managed to force a keeper error from an awkward shot and put Guoan in the lead with his first CSL goal as well. Guoan scored another in the 42nd minute after Tian Yuda's through-ball was slid past the goalie by Zhang Yuning for his 19th this season. Neither team scored in the second half, but Tian Yuda received a red card in the 76th minute for a heavy tackle. Guoan won the game 1–3.[63][64]

On 27 December, the club announced that it would abandon the scheduled match against Shanghai Port as the team is unable field a full starting lineup despite promoting youth players to the first team due to widespread COVID-19 infection in the club.[65] Shanghai Port was awarded a 3–0 win. With a four-point gap to 5th place and one match remaining, it became mathematically impossible for Guoan to contend for a top-5 finish.

On 28 December, the club also announced that it would abandon the final match with Shandong Taishan due to COVID-19 infections within the team.[66] Guoan finished the season 7th in the league with 17 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses.

Notes edit

  1. ^ Sui Dongliang did not have the required coaching license to coach at the top level of Chinese football, therefore Wei Kexing was registered as the manager while Sui performs the actual managing.
  2. ^ Fengtai Stadium serves as Guoan's home ground this season while the team's traditional home ground Workers' Stadium undergoes renovation. Due to regulations related to COVID-19, different fields and stadiums in Meizhou, Guangdong and Haikou, Hainan have been used to host home games for Guoan in the earlier parts of the season.
  3. ^ After the CSL returned to a home-away system, Guoan applied for but was denied permission to play in Beijing due to COVID-19 regulations. Therefore, the home ground for the remainder of the season was set in Rizhao.
  4. ^ All games in CSL are played on neutral grounds with limited or no attancence to mitigate potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Recorded here are whether the game is designated home or away.
