WATCH: Paulinho and Alan turn on the flair in Guangzhou Evergrande rout

The duo were responsible for a pair of goals as their side ran rampant in their AFC Champions League group stage contest

Guangzhou may be half a world away from Brazil, but that didn’t stop a pair of Brazilians from making a big impact in an AFC Champions League contest there.

Chinese Super League side Guangzhou Evergrande ran rampant over Hong Kong Premier League’s Eastern in the group stage contest by a 7-0 margin, with Brazilians Alan and Paulinho each picking up an impressive goal in the rout.

Alan, who missed a penalty earlier in the contest, struck in the 65th minute, ripping a blast from the edge of the area, leaving both defenders and the goalkeeper without a chance of stopping it.
