Leonardo has ended his goalless streak in the Chinese Super League (CSL) after scoring twice against Shanghai Shenhua on Saturday. The Brazilian forward, who joined Shanghai Shenhua from Italian club AC Milan earlier this season, had been without a goal since March.
The record-breaking goal was scored in the 59th minute of the match, with Leonardo assisting fellow forward Luiz Adriano to score the second goal for Shanghai Shenhua. This marks the first time in the history of the CSL that a foreign player has scored two goals in one game.
Leonardo's performance during the match was praised by many fans and critics alike, with some even comparing him to former Brazil striker Ronaldo. "Leonardo is a great player," said one commentator. "He's proven himself in Europe and now he's making waves in China."
Despite the goal, Leonardo has not managed to score any other goals in the CSL so far this season. However, his performances have been instrumental in helping Shanghai Shenhua maintain their position at the top of the table. The team currently leads the league with six wins and three draws, leaving them just two points behind leaders Guangzhou Evergrande.
In conclusion, Leonardo's goalless streak came to an end on Saturday, marking the first time in the history of the CSL that a foreign player has scored two goals in one game. His performance during the match was praised by fans and critics alike, and his contribution to the team's success cannot be ignored. As he continues to prove himself in China, it will be interesting to see what kind of impact he will have on the CSL in the coming months.
