HANOI, Apr. 20 (Xinhuanet) -- Defender Li Jianhua scored a late goal to seal a 2-0 win for China's Super League champion Shenzhen Jianlibao over Vietnam's Hoang Anh Gia Lai in the Asian Champions League here on Wednesday.
After a scoreless first half, Togo striker Djima Oyawole put Shenzhen ahead with a header in the 77th minute from a pass by Polish defender Marek Zajac.
Li sealed the win two minutes later when he beat Hoang Anh goalkeeper Vo Van Hanh with a low shot.
"We played better than the away match," said Nguyen Van Vinh, Hoang Anh's director. "We could have managed a 0-0 draw, but our biggest problem is poor fitness and lack of international experience."
With the win, Shenzhen leads Group E with 10 points, while Vietnam League champion Hoang Anh isyet to earn a point in last place.
Hoang Anh lost to Jianlibao 5-0 in the first leg two weeks ago in Shenzhen. Enditem |
