LIPPI, DIAMANTI AND GILARDINO REFER THE PARTY. GUANGZHOU LOSE AT HOME
It was all ready in Guangzhou Evergrande home to celebrate the Chinese third consecutive title, but the team of Diamond and Gilardino was defeated 1-0 at home by second-placed Beijing Guoan. Only needed a point to Lippi’s team to uncork the bottles of sparkling wine made come from Italy, but 89 ‘came the cold shower. Only a court.
Nothing irreparable, of course, but the bitterness faded to a victory two minutes from time remains. As well as slightly three-point lead right on Beijing Guoan in a day by the end, despite the network Jiayi in the final. On the last day, November 2 at home Shandong Luneng fourth in the standings, Lippi just get a point to celebrate the third league win in as many seasons in China.
