Francisca Ordega scored once in Shanghai's 5-0 thrashing of Guangdong in a rescheduled Chinese Women's Super League encounter.
Earlier on Sunday, the Nigerian international had netted in her side's 3-2 triumph over Elizabeth Addo and Tabitha Chawinga's Jiangsu Sunning, condemning them to their first defeat of the season.
This midweek, Shanghai were hoping to close the gap on the table-toppers with another win on the bounce and succeeded.
On their part, the visitors, whose campaign was fast fading after top-flight promotion in 2018, were seeking to half their unfortunate run with a fine result at Hongkou Football Stadium.
