Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Efmamjjasond González has continued his impressive revival in Chinese football after producing a sensational hat-trick to inspire Nantong Zhiyun to a 3-1 victory over Foshan Nanshi in their Chinese League One encounter on Saturday, November 7, 2026.
The Colombian forward delivered an outstanding individual performance, scoring all three goals for Nantong to secure an important victory and further strengthen his reputation as one of the club's most influential attacking players this season.
González wasted no time making his presence felt, opening the scoring in the 17th minute after being set up by Aldo Kalulu. The former Amakhosi attacker demonstrated his finishing ability again in the 31st minute, capitalising on an assist from Ruan Yang to double Nantong's advantage.
Foshan Nanshi managed to respond five minutes later through Yao Hui, who found the back of the net in the 36th minute to reduce the deficit to 2-1 and briefly revive hopes of a comeback.
However, González had other ideas. The striker completed his hat-trick in the 58th minute after receiving an excellent pass from Wu Xingyu, restoring Nantong's two-goal advantage and effectively putting the contest beyond the visitors.
Nantong's dominance was also reflected in the match statistics. They registered 27 attempts on goal compared to Foshan's eight, while enjoying 66 per cent possession throughout the encounter.
The victory represents another positive moment in González's career, particularly considering his previous spell in South Africa with Kaizer Chiefs, where he struggled to establish himself as a consistent attacking threat.
His latest performances suggest that the move to China has provided the Colombian with an opportunity to rediscover his confidence and demonstrate his goalscoring qualities.
According to the available 2026 league statistics, González has now scored 13 goals in 16 appearances, making him Nantong Zhiyun's leading goalscorer. His remarkable form will undoubtedly be encouraging for the club as they look to finish their campaign strongly.
