Gilerme has scored against the Chinese Super League (CSL) for the first time in its history, as it beat Guangzhou Evergrande FC 2-1 at the Guangdong Sports Center on Tuesday night. The match was part of the Chinese Premier League's return to action after being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic earlier this year. Gilerme, which is currently playing in the Asian Club League (ACL), has been a regular participant in the league since it joined the ACL in 2018. The team had previously faced Chinese clubs in previous seasons but did not have a player from China in their lineup during those matches. In addition to scoring against Guangzhou Evergrande, Gilerme also played against other Chinese teams such as Shandong Luneng and Jiangsu Suning. The victory against Guangzhou Evergrande marks a significant milestone for the club and represents a new chapter in its development. The success of Gilerme will likely inspire other Chinese clubs to join the league and increase the number of Chinese players in the league. The move to the Chinese Premier League comes as a positive step towards increasing the number of Chinese players in the league and promoting the growth of the sport in China. |
