Former Chelsea star Oscar Wins First Chinese Super League Title

Former Chelsea star Oscar has won his first Chinese Super League title with Shanghai SIPG to End Guangzhou dominance.

Shanghai SIPG broke Guangzhou Evergrande's near-decade stranglehold on Chinese football on Wednesday, winning the Chinese Super League (CSL) for the first time.

Fabio Cannavaro's failure to steer Evergrande to an eighth CSL crown in a row will see the Italian legend's future as coach thrown into doubt after a single campaign at the helm.

In contrast, SIPG coach Vitor Pereira has achieved what his more famous predecessor Andre Villas-Boas could not, winning the club's first major trophy since its founding in 2005.

SIPG, who have the expensive Brazilian duo of Oscar and Hulk, wrapped up the title with a game to spare thanks to a 2-1 victory over Beijing Renhe.

Pereira, a former Porto coach last seen taking 1860 Munich into Germany’s third tier, praised the "spirit" of his side.

"We broke seven years of titles of Guangzhou and this is a big issue, a big challenge, and we won the challenge," the Portuguese said, his winners' medal slung around his neck.

"(In my) first year in China. For my career, it is good for me, I am very happy.

"I hope next season we will be here again to fight for another title."

Oscar since moving from Chelsea in December, has scored 12 goals and made 18 Assists to help Shanghai SIPG clinch the trophy.
