Leonardo's goalless streak ended in the Chinese Super League (CSL) on Sunday, as the Brazilian striker scored his first goal for Guangzhou Evergrande since he returned to China in January.

The 29-year-old had been on loan from Paris Saint-Germain and made a strong impression during his time at Guangzhou last season before returning to Europe. However, he struggled to find the net during his time away from the CSL.

But on Sunday, Leonardo finally broke his drought with a stunning header against Shanghai SIPG. The goal was his first in the CSL since December 2018, and it came just four minutes into the match.

It was a fitting return to form for the former Santos forward, who has spent much of his career scoring goals in Brazil and Europe. He will be hoping to continue his impressive form when he returns to action next week, and could potentially make a big impact in the CSL this season.

Overall, it was a great day for Leonardo and Guangzhou Evergrande, who have now won their first game of the season after a slow start. It will be interesting to see how they fare in the coming weeks and months, especially if they can maintain their current level of performance.
