After the restart, the former Mamelodi Sundowns talisman continued from where he stopped with the match-winning effort in the 50th minute.

The Warriors forward who played for the entire duration of the encounter has now scored nine goals in as many games in his debut campaign in China.

Cameroon's Christian Bassogog could do little for Henan Jianye who are two points adrift of the relegation zone.

Dalian Yifang are placed 13th spot in the log with 19 points from 19 games. They host Shandong Luneng for their FA Cup game on Tuesday before Saturday's visit to Chongqing Dangdai Lifan for next league game.
