Evergrande makes history in Guangzhou
Chinese Super League champion Guangzhou Evergrande rewrote China's soccer history in more than a decade by claiming the title of AFC Champions League on Saturday in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province.
Brazilian striker Elkeson's goal in the 58th minute helped the Guangzhou side secure the continental title at the Tianhe Stadium thanks to the advantage of one away goal two weeks ago.
