Guangzhou Evergrande, the Chinese Super League (CSL) champions for two consecutive seasons, has claimed their first win of the new campaign with a convincing victory over Tianjin Quanjian in the opening round of matches.

The match, played at the Guangzhou Evergrande Football Stadium on Saturday, saw Guangzhou Evergrande dominate from start to finish, registering three goals and holding Tianjin Quanjian scoreless throughout the game.

In the early stages of the match, Guangzhou Evergrande took control of the contest with a series of attacking moves that left Tianjin Quanjian struggling to keep up. The home team's defense was breached time and again as Guangzhou Evergrande capitalized on their opportunities.

Tianjin Quanjian struggled to create any meaningful chances of their own, with goalkeeper Zhang Jike making several key saves to deny them. However, despite their best efforts, they were unable to find the back of the net, leaving them with nothing but frustration as the final whistle blew.

Despite the defeat, Tianjin Quanjian will be buoyed by the fact that they have already shown they can compete against one of the top teams in the league, and will undoubtedly be looking to bounce back in their next match.

For Guangzhou Evergrande, this win is another step towards securing their place at the top of the table, and will provide them with a much-needed boost ahead of the remainder of the season. With their star players continuing to perform at their best, there is no doubt that Guangzhou Evergrande will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in the Chinese Super League.
