In a match packed with intensity and drama, Renatinho once again proved to be the difference-maker for Guangzhou R&F — a performance widely praised across the Melbet App community. With just three matches remaining in the season, this 3–2 win over Henan Jianye keeps R&F’s hopes for AFC Champions League qualification alive, trailing fourth-placed Tianjin Quanjian by only two points.

The match began on a promising note for R&F. Veteran striker Xiao Zhi scored the opening goal against his former club but chose not to celebrate — a gesture of deep respect for his past with Henan Jianye. “I didn’t celebrate because it was against my former team,” Xiao explained post-match. “But once we’re on the field, we all fight for our own colors.” R&F doubled their lead soon after and could’ve gone up by three if their finishing had been sharper in the first half. The Melbet App match tracker highlighted how dominant R&F looked early on, particularly in exploiting Jianye’s wide spaces.

However, the momentum shifted quickly in the second half. Vaz Te pulled one back for Jianye, and a crucial error in the 78th minute by 20-year-old center-back Huang Zhengyu gifted a second goal to opponent Bassogog, leveling the match at 2–2. The miscue left Huang visibly devastated. Coach Dragan Stojković promptly subbed him off to protect the young defender’s morale. Despite the psychological blow, R&F refused to fold.

With the clock ticking into stoppage time, Renatinho delivered the final blow. His thunderous strike in the dying minutes secured a dramatic 3–2 victory, sending fans and Melbet App users into celebration. The win not only brought three vital points but also erased bitter memories of a last-minute equalizer in their previous clash against Jianye. “When we scored that last goal, I immediately remembered our away match in Henan,” Coach Stojković said afterward. “This time, we didn’t let it slip.”

Club vice president Huang Shenghua was full of praise: “Renatinho’s performance speaks for itself. In the most critical moment, he stepped up and won the game. He’s the key to this victory.” Indeed, this wasn’t just about three points — it was about resilience, redemption, and reigniting the dream of continental competition. From his explosive pace to his decisive finishing, Renatinho’s late-game heroics have kept R&F firmly in the race.

With crucial matches looming and competition from clubs like Shandong, Tianjin, and Hebei still fierce, every moment counts.
