BEIJING, April 21 (Xinhua) -- Both Qingdao teams had to swallow an away loss in the Chinese Super League (CSL) on Sunday, as 10-man West Coast was beaten by Beijing Guoan 4-1, while Hainiu was edged 1-0 by Henan FC.

Michael Egadeu put Beijing ahead just six minutes into the game from Zhang Xizhe's assist.

After West Coast's Varazdat Haroyan was sent off for a violent tackle on Lin Liangming in the 53rd minute, Li Ke and Wang Ziming extended the lead for Beijing before Chen Xiangyu's late consolation.

Samuel Adegbenro added another for Beijing just before the final whistle en route to the club's first home win of the season, following one draw and one loss so far at the newly-renovated Workers' Stadium.

Elsewhere, Henan broke the deadlock in the 49th minute when Nemanja Covic's through-ball found Frank Acheampong just inside the box, and the Ghanaian striker scored his first goal since joining the club in February.

Elvis Saric almost leveled the score for Hainiu in the 75th minute, but his penalty hit the left post, gifting Henan its first win of the season.

The game between Meizhou Hakka and Shanghai Port, which was scheduled to start at 19:35 local time, was postponed until further notice due to a yellow alert for rainstorms in Meizhou. Enditem
