BEIJING, April 21 (Xinhua) -- Shandong Luneng managed to take away three points with a come-from-behind 4-2 win over home team Guangzhou R&F in the 7th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on Saturday night.

Xiao Zhi scored the opener for Guangzhou R&F in the 29th minute, but his teammate Eran Zahavi failed to turn a penalty kick opportunity to their second goal in the 37th minute, and they soon paid the price for it.

In the 52nd minute, Brazilian defender Carlos Gilberto Nascimento Silva, also known as Gil, scored the equalizer in the box, before mid-fielder Jin Jingdao and Italian striker Graziano Pelle made it 3-1 for Shandong Luneng in the 59th and 70th minute.

Xiao Zhi pulled back one goal for Guangzhou R&F in the 81st minute, but Brazilian striker Diego Tardelli's goal in the 86th minute made the final score 4-2 and dampened the home team's hope for even one point.

In other 7th round matches played on the same day, Changchun Yatai beat Guizhou Hengfeng 5-2 in an away game, and Hebei China Fortune tied 0-0 with Beijing Renhe.
