On October 31, after 8 games of the final round of Super League, all the suspense about the championship, the AFC qualification and relegated teams finally got to the bottom.
When Guoan players threw Shao Jiayi into the air who would bid farewell to the pitch, Guangzhou Evergrande players were excited on the other side of the stadium opening five fingers. After defeating Guo'an with 2-0, Evergrande won this season's Super champion as expected, achieving five consecutive championship in the Super League. Brazil coach Luiz Felipe Scolari who took over Evergrande midway led his team and showed a strong strength in the league, even in the game against Beijing Guoan with home record of 12 wins and 2 draws this season, Evergrande still seized the initiative in the game. Scolari said after the game: "I think Guangzhou Evergrande can definitely be called a great team, the club has always insisted on investment, and the team has a number of good players with selfless dedication and contribution. We lost only one game in the Super League this year, so we can justifiably claim to be a great team." Since it lost the game, Beijing Guoan has no need to know the result between Shandong Luneng and Shijiazhuang Yongchang, which will completely miss the AFC in the next season due to its fourth ranking, and it won nothing in this season.
