A pair of spectacular Oscar strikes helped home side Shanghai SIPG of China draw 2-2 with South Korean side Ulsan Hyundai in Group F of the AFC Champions League.

The visitors opened the score after 37 minutes, when Richard Windbichler headed in Lee-Young Jae's corner. But, barely a minute later, SIPG drew level with a low, long-range strike from star forward Oscar.

Ulsan moved back in front on after 68 minutes when Kim In-Sung converted Lee Myung-Jae's pass across the Shanghai box.

However the South Korean side once again struggled but failed to hold their lead two minutes later, as Oscar curled in a fantastic right footed shot to the top corner for his fourth goal of the competition. Elkeson set up his fellow Brazilian, who notched his second of the night.

"I am in a good form since the beginning of this season. I will keep my form this year for the club and for world cup. As you know I've been part of the Brazilian national team for five years, I hope I will be served for my country for Russia world cup once again," Oscar said.

The 2-2 result kept Shanghai SIPG on top with seven points, two clear of second-placed Ulsan in Group F. Both teams will now meet again at South Korea's Ulsan Munsu stadium on March 13.
