WUHAN, China - Beijing Guoan eased past Wuhan Yangtze River to claim a straightforward 4-1 victory in the 13th round of the Chinese Super League in Wuhan on Wednesday.

Against a Wuhan side that struggled to create chances, Beijing Guoan did not wait much longer to break the deadlock, as Zhang Xizhe rifled an unstoppable shot from Marko Dabro's cross in the 21st minute.

There was no let-up for Beijing Guoan in the second half as they doubled the advantage in the 61st minute with a rocket of a volley from Jiang Xiangyou. Five minutes later, Jiang's pinpoint cross picked out Zhang Yuning in the penalty area, who finished a powerful header. Zhang added an assist in the 83rd minute when his cross eventually found its way to substitute Cao Yongjing, who scored a fourth to secure a memorable victory.
