Captain Hulk scored the only goal of the game as Shanghai SIPG beat Beijing Guoan 1-0 to stay four points clear of seven-time CSL champions Guangzhou Evergrande at the top of the Chinese Super League.
The Brazilian scored in the 66th minute from a Wu Lei pass, after Beijing had had a first half goal disallowed for offside by VAR.
SIPG's fourth straight win leaves them on 55 points with six games to go. With three defeats in succession, Beijing Guoan remain on 45 points in third place.
