BEIJING (Reuters) - Carlos Tevez marked his Chinese Super League (CSL) debut with a goal from the penalty spot as Shanghai Shenhua beat Jiangsu Suning 4-0 on Sunday while a brace from midfielder Paulinho sealed a winning start for champions Guangzhou Evergrande over Beijing Guoan. "Goals are important and he has started his CSL journey with goals. The four goals are all linked to him but he needs the team to work as a whole." Paulinho had opened the scoring from close range in the 19th minute before a penalty by Burak Yilmaz meant the teams went into the halftime break level. Hulk levelled from the penalty spot before Elkeson's treble put SIPG 4-1 up just before the hour mark and Wu Lei added a fifth goal in the dying seconds.
