Thembi Kgatlana's strike seals Beijing Phoenix's victory over Guangdong Meizhou

Beijing Phoenix defeated Guangdong Meizhou 4-2 in Sunday's Chinese Women's Super League contest, thanks to a wonderful strike from Thembi Kgatlana.

Kgatlana scored a goal each in her two opening league games but she could not find the net in Beijing's 3-1 win at Henan Huishang last Wednesday.

On Sunday, Ma Xiaoxu netted a brace and Gu Yasha's goal gave Beijing a narrow 3-2 lead after Zhong Xiudong and Li Ying kept the 10-player visitors in the mix.

However, the South Africa international drove in from the halfway line before scoring a beauty to guarantee her side's victory at home.
