Brazilian striker Elkeson's goal helped Guangzhou Evergrande win its second Asian title within in three straight years, by beating the UAE's Al Ahli 1:0 on Saturday evening in Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province.

Elkeson scored the only goal during the two legs of the final of the AFC Champions League against the UAE Side. Both sides ended a goalless draw at the first leg in Dubai early in November.

The Guangzhou side, also a five-time champion of Chinese Super League, won its first title of the AFC Champions League in 2013.
