After winning the Chinese Super League for a third straight time this season and becoming the first Chinese side to win the AFC Champions League Guangzhou Evergrande isn't done making history just yet.

Evergrande can win a dream Chinese football treble if they claim the Chinese FA Cup. And after leg one of their semi-final tie against Beijing Guoan, Evergrande is poised to move on to the title match.

Beijing, dropped leg one 1-nil here in the capital and arrived in Guangzhou ahead of Wednesday's second leg with some question marks surrounding the side.

Zhang Xizhe was injured in the opener, while striker Joffre Guerron got in trouble with the coaching staff after an argument and the availability of both is up in the air. The winner of the tie will take on Guizhou Renhe for the championship which Evergrande is determined to make happen.

"The first leg victory doesn't mean we will reach the final. Beijing will try hard to win the game. We are looking forward to the match as well as the final. We have a few injuries, but we are ready to fight." Marcello Lippi, Guangzhou Evergrande Coach said.
