Bakambu’s poles push Beijing Guoan to surpass Mbia’s Wuhan Football Club

Cedric Bakambu, a hero of the Beijing Guoan team, scored twice in a 2-0 defeat of Wuhan Football Club in the Chinese Super League on Monday.

The 30-year-old found the net in every half when the Imperial Guard silenced the Han army to win the second victory of the new season.

After the 2021 campaign was faltering, after losing the first two games against Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Port, Slaaven Bilic’s man returned to the victory against Dalian professional players.

They are still pleased with this result, they went to the East Lake Sports Center to date with Li Pang-so far they have not won.

However, it was Bakambu who was only 5 minutes away from the penalty spot that gave them a dream start.

Stephane Mbia shot the ball into the goal in the penalty area and Chang Yuning was convicted of a foul-prompting referee Tang Shunqi to award a penalty kick. After the former Villarreal man sent goalkeeper Dongyu Dong in the wrong way, he switched the subsequent kicks.

Although the host made a strong reaction, they were unable to solve the problem due to their support for the Beijing team at the end of the first half.

In one minute of the second half, Bakambu completed his doubles, giving his team a two-goal advantage. In the defensive accident of the Wuhan defender, the African star fired a low shot at the goalkeeper.

As the away team controlled the ball, this goal slowed the fighting spirit of Pang and his team.

Even with the introduction of Li Xingqi, Yoann Arquin, Liao Junjian and Yi Luo, Wuhan was still losing. As a result, they entered the relegation zone after only four games in Group B.

After an impressive change, Bakambu replaced Chinese defender Taiyan Jin in the 90th minute.

For the hosts, Cameroon’s Mbia and Ivorian forward Jean Kuassi have been in action from start to finish.

Beijing Guoan is currently ranked fourth, scoring six points in four games, two points less than the leading Shanghai Shenhua.

Although they hope to consolidate this result in the Hebei team against Kim Jong-boo on May 16, the Wuhan team hopes to achieve their first victory at the Tianjin Tiger Festival the next day.
