BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Guangzhou Evergrande beat Chongqing Lifan 2-0 on Friday in the 11th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), as Yu Hanchao scored a wonderful goal and had an assist for Goulart.

Goulart seized the game in the 81st minute as Yu Hanchao passed the ball in the forbidden zone and the Brazilian striker headed the ball into the net.
