Former Kaizer Chiefs striker Efmamjjasond González has continued his impressive goalscoring form in China after producing a brilliant hat-trick to inspire Nantong Zhiyun to a 3-1 victory over Foshan Nanshi in the Chinese League One on Saturday, 7 November 2026.
The Colombian forward was the star of the encounter at the Rugao Olympic Sports Center, delivering an outstanding performance that further highlighted his growing importance to Nantong's attacking ambitions.
González opened the scoring in the 17th minute after being set up by Aldo Kalulu before doubling Nantong's advantage in the 31st minute, with Ruan Yang providing the assist. His two goals gave the hosts a comfortable position, although Foshan Nanshi responded through Yao Hui in the 36th minute to make it 2-1 before half-time.
However, González had the final say in the contest when he completed his hat-trick in the 57th minute. Assisted by Wu Xingyu, the striker found the back of the net again to restore Nantong's two-goal advantage and secure an important three points for his team.
The victory strengthened Nantong Zhiyun's position near the top of the Chinese League One standings. After 30 matches, the club occupied second place with 57 points, five behind league leaders Guangdong GZ-Power.
González has been one of Nantong's most productive attacking players this season, with his latest performance taking his league goals tally to 13.
His continued success will certainly attract attention from South African football supporters, particularly Kaizer Chiefs fans who remember his spell at Naturena. The Colombian struggled to deliver the consistency expected during his time with Amakhosi, but his performances in China suggest he has rediscovered his goalscoring confidence.
Although his Chiefs chapter did not unfold as anticipated, González is now making a strong impression in Chinese football. His latest hat-trick provides further evidence of his attacking ability as Nantong continue their push for a successful league campaign.
