In the Chinese FA Cup, Henan Jianye hoped to avoid an upset when they travelled to face third tier Shenyang Urban in the round of 32. The CSL club's coach, Dragan Talajic, was dismissed at the weekend after a poor run of form saw the team win just once in their first seven games. A victory against the China League two side would go a long way to restoring some confidence, but it's a feat easier said than done.
In this early stage of the tournament, all CSL sides must play away.
And its the hosts who take a shock lead after 12 minutes. Wang Guoming in the visitors net tries to be too clever and is punished by Li Zhibin. Goalkeepers not known for their fancy foot-work, here's why!
Shenyang double their lead just before the break. The ex-Tianjin Teda striker Li gets his second after being put through one-on-one to finish into the bottom corner.
Henan get on the score sheet with 15 minutes remaining. Du Chanjie races clear to score with a delightful shot into the top right. Its not enough and it ends 2-1 Shenyang, a huge result for the team two leagues below their opponents. They could be in the same division next season.
In other action, Dalian Yifang earned their first victory this season with a 4-1 win at Liaoning kaixin. Guangzhou R&F defeated amateur outfit Wuhan Chufeng 2-nil. Tianjin Quanjian got past Dalian Boyang 3-nil while league two Sichuan Jiuniu shocked CSL club Changchun Yatai 5-4 on penalties. Hebei China fortune comfortably beat Suzhou Dongwu 4-nil.
