Guangzhou Evergrande secured the Chinese Championship title with one day remaining after a late goal by Chinese international Gao Lin secured a 1-0 victory over Liaoning Whowin. The team, coached by Italian Marcello Lippi since May, successfully defended their title and added another achievement to Lippi’s illustrious career. Notably, Shanghai Shenhua, featuring Nicolas Anelka and Didier Drogba, secured their survival with a draw against Dalian Aerbin (0-0). Drogba, despite uncertainties about his future, contributed to the team’s efforts before potentially moving to Italy in January.
