BEIJING, May 12 (Xinhua) -- Beijing Guoan continued their fearsome form in Chinese Super League as they claimed the ninth consecutive win here on Sunday after a comprehensive 3-0 triumph over Shenzhen Jiazhaoye.

Guoan missed Jonathan Viera while Shenzhen benched Harold Preciado and Ole Selnaes.

The hosts broke the deadlock in the 13rd minute as Zhang Yuning's through ball released Cedric Bakambu who beat the on-rushing goalkeeper Guo Wei to send the ball into the net from a tight angle.

Bakambu doubled the lead six minutes later as the hitman was sent clear and looped it over the Shenzhen goalkeeper.

Bakambu should have completed his hat-trick on the stroke of the half-time, but he surprisingly missed an empty net.

Guoan extended the lead in the 62nd minute as Zhang's slide-rule pass found Renato Augusto who send the ball into the net with a first time strike.
