Mooy netted twice in the opening 45 minutes as Shanghai held on for a vital three points which keeps them in touch with second-placed Guangzhou FC with two games remaining in the 2021 season.

The top three sides in the CSL will earn qualification for next year’s AFC Champions League.

The Aussie took only 15 minutes to open his account tapping home a rebound from close range.

While Mooy’s first goal was a simple finish, his second was a thing of beauty.
The Australian, receiving the ball on the edge of the box, unleashed a sublime curling effort with his left boot which whizzed past the outstretched arm of the keeper before nestling into the top corner of the net.

It was the fourth goal for Mooy this season and the third since the competition restarted on December 12.

In other round 20 action from the CSL, Zheng Zhi's Guangzhou won 2-0 away to Hebei FC courtesy of goals from Ling Jie and Tan Kaiyuan as the eight-time champions stayed ahead of Shanghai on goal difference.
Changchun Yatai remains fourth with two games remaining, three points behind Guangzhou and Shanghai after a 1-0 victory at Shenzhen FC thanks to Sun Jie's 70th-minute winner.

Shandong Taishan, who on Sunday were confirmed as champions for the first time in more than a decade, was held to a 1-1 draw against hosts Beijing Guoan as Dai Lin cancelled out Anderson Silva's 17th minute opener for Slaven Bilic's struggling side.
