BEIJING, Oct. 19 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese Super League (CSL) saw dominant displays on Saturday as Beijing Guoan thrashed Qingdao Hainiu 6-0, and Changchun Yatai cruised to a 4-0 victory over Qingdao West Coast.

Forward Fabio Abreu was the star of the show for Beijing, delivering a masterful performance with one goal and an impressive four assists.

The 31-year-old Angolan set the tone early, heading the ball to Cao Yongjing in the 18th minute to break the deadlock. Abreu scored a header from Lin Liangming's cross eight minutes later, and just before halftime, he returned the favor with a sublime pass that allowed Lin to make it 3-0.

Abreu continued pulling the strings in the second half, providing another two assists for Cao and Lin. Cao was on the verge of a hat-trick, but VAR disallowed his 61st-minute goal. The rout was completed in the 89th minute when Qingdao's Liu Jiashen turned the ball into his own net, capping a miserable evening for the visitors.

In Saturday's other match, overseas players powered Changchun to a resounding win over Qingdao West Coast.

Defender Stoppila Sunzu's maiden goal for Changchun opened the scoring in the 43rd minute, and the second half saw Robert Beric score twice, while Serginho added another to seal a commanding victory.

Changchun's relentless pressure limited the visitors to just one shot on target throughout the match.

The final two matches of the 28th round will take place on Sunday. Enditem
