Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Efmamjjasond González continued his red-hot scoring form by guiding Chinese League 1 outfit Nantong Zhiyun to yet another win on Saturday.
The 27-year-old towering marksman netted all three goals against Foshan Nanshi as Zhiyun consolidated their spot in second place and move within five points of leaders Guangdong following a 3-1 victory.

González gave his team the lead in the 17th minute before grabbing his brace in the 31st minute.
Nanshi pulled one back in the 36th minute but the Colombian marksman completed the rout in the 58th minute to thwart any chances of a comeback for the visitors.
González has now racked up an impressive 13 goals in 16 league outings with a single assist this campaign which puts him just four goals shy of the league’s top goalscorer Giovanny.
He had an unsuccessful spell during his time at Naturena after joining on loan from Real Santa Cruz in 2023/24 failing to register goals or assists in 13 appearances.
It was a return to winning ways for Zhiyun who narrowly lost their last match 1-0 to Yatai after they had gone on a three-match winning run.
