After a goalless first half, the Nigeria international opened the scoring in the 50th minute. The striker managed to get his head on a ball from his teammate to put Changchun Yatai in front before Rui Yu doubled the lead in the 82nd minute.
Ighalo completed his brace in the 90th minute, getting on a pass before dribbling the goalkeeper to score.
Two quick goals from Pengfei Han and Nikica Jelavic reduced the tally for Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng F.C to 3-2.
With this brace, Ighalo now has 14 league goals for Changchun Yatai who are 10th in the CSL with 35 points from 27 games.
The 28-year-old will be looking to add to his tally when Changchun Yatai host Jiangsu Sainty in their next fixture on Sunday, October 22.
