XI'AN, Aug, 18 (Xinhua) -- Three non-Chinese Renhe players scored on Saturday as the team earned its first derby victory after beating Beijing Guoan 3-0.

Benjamin Moukandjo's close-range shot took Renhe into lead in the sixth minute. Guoan's Jiang Tao was shown a red card in the 17th minute.

Renhe's Ajub Masika almost increased the lead in the 11th minute, but his shot went wide. Before the half time whistle, Masika scored a fantastic solo goal.

Makhete Diop finished the scoring with a coolly converted penalty.

Shandong Luneng, the other CSL title competitor, trailed by two goals at half-time to Guizhou Hengfeng. Steve Trawally created chaos in the penalty area and another goal changed the score to 3-0 in the 49th minute. Graziano Pelle pulled one back for Luneng in the 81st minute, but it was too late.

Chinese international Wu Lei's last-gasp goal secured the three points when Shanghai SIPG faced Chongqing SRM on Saturday. The league's top scorer helped SIPG beat SRM 3-2, while his team climbed to second place in the CSL standings.

In the other three games played on Saturday, Dalian Yifang defeated Henan Jianye 2-1, Tianjin Teda drew with Jiangsu Suning 1-1 and Guangzhou R&F thrashed Changchun Yatai 5-2.
