South Korea's Suwon Bluewings took a 1-1 draw against China's away side of Shanghai Shenhua in the AFC Champions League of Group H.
Dejan Damjanovic came close for the hosts with a free-kick, but Shanghai goalkeeper Li Shuai produced a fine save.
But two minutes into the second half, Li punched the ball out and Lee Ki Je slammed it right back past him, giving Suwon a 1-nil lead.
Shanghai were awarded a penalty in the 69th minute after Cristavom Da Silva fouled Eddy. Captain Giovanni Moreno scored to make it 1-1. The score remained unchanged through the rest of the game.
Suwon stayed in second place in the group while Shenhua are third, but will be happy with the away goal which will help them in the return fixture in China in two weeks’ time.
