HONG KONG (Reuters) - Guangzhou Evergrande saw their lead at the top of the Chinese Super League trimmed to six points as Luiz Felipe Scolari's side were held to a 2-2 draw by Jiangsu Suning on Sunday.

Wang Song scored three minutes from time to earn Fabio Capello's team a share of the points, allowing second-placed Shanghai SIPG to stay in contention for a dramatic late run at the league title with five games remaining.
