Ghana winger Frank Acheampong scored his 13th league goal for Chinese Super League side Tianjin Teda in their 5-2 home defeat to Beijin Gouan.

Acheampong found the back of the net in the 21st minute to put Tianjin Teda in the lead but his side could not hold onto the advantage for long after Brazilian forward Renato Augusto pulled level for Beijin Guoan.

Six minutes to end the first half Renato Augusto scored from the spot to get the capital-based club in the lead.

Beijin Guoan took advantage of the lead as they dominated the second half, and Jonathan Vierra and Zhang Zxihie scored two quick goals to strengthen their grip on the game.

Felix Bastians provided Tianjin Teda with some hope after reducing the deficit in the 65th minute.

But Brazilian forward Renato Augusto completed his hat-trick with four minutes to end the game as Tianjin Teda dropped all points at home.

The Ghana International midfielder has been unstoppable since arriving in China. His form this season has seen him score several goals for the Tianjin club.
