Beijing is currently behind a round in fixtures as they still have seven games left in their season's campaign. They are winless in four of their last five matches, but the team is coming off a 2-0 spanking of Liaoning Whowin at the Shenyang Olympic Sports Center Stadium on Wednesday, as per Sofa Score.

Turkish striker Burak Yilmaz again put on a fine offensive form for head coach Xie Feng's squad as he netted a brace at the 77th and 89th minutes to give the win and three points to the capital city side.

With the win, the Imperial Guards have climbed to the seventh spot of the league table, overtaking Henan Jianye, Yanbian Funde, and Liaoning in the overall standings. They are comfortable 12 points above the relegation area, but a far nine points away from the third and final AFC Champions League berth for next season presently held by Shanghai Shenhua.

Meanwhile, Shijiazhuang Ever Bright has dropped to the bottom-most of the China top flight table as they are currently on a five-game winless slide. The team has only won once in their last 11 assignments, which contributed to their dramatic skid.

Head coach Li Jinyu's squad was crushed by powerhouse club Jiangsu Suning, 1-6, at their own home field of Yutong International Sports Center last Sunday, Xinhuanet reported.

Brazilian import Diego Mauricio was the lone scorer for Ever Bright at the 48th minute while compatriot Alex Teixeira unleashed a hat trick for his side. Ji Xiang, Roger Martinez, and an own goal from Shijiazhuang defender Jiang Jihong completed the six-goal rout.
