IN heavy rain, Shanghai Shenhua defeated visiting Beijing Guo'an last night in the Chinese Super League.
The only goal of the game came in the 63rd minute. Shenhua's Columbian midfielder Giovanni Moreno headed a cross from Firas Khatib which was palmed away by Guo'an's goalkeeper.
But it landed back to a diving Moreno who found the feet this time to steal a crucial win for the home side.
Moreno had also struck Guo'an's post with a header in the first half.
Both teams created opportunities in the game but neither was able to find the net again.
Shenhua's Argentine coach Sergio Batista was sent off in the dying moments of the game for complaining about the five-minute stoppage time.
He was followed by Guo'an's Andre Lima who was shown a second yellow card for pushing Shenhua defender Dai Lin to the ground.
In earlier games, Shanghai Shenxin beat Changchun Yatai 3-1 in the northeastern city yesterday afternoon.
Shanghai East Asia suffered another defeat over the weekend, losing 0-1 to Qingdao Jonoon away. It was its fifth straight loss.
Shenxin and Shenhua climbed to eighth and ninth respectively on the table.
