Yeah the attacking trio upfront were all quite poor in the first half. Muriqui seems to still be bothered by that small injury he picked up against Melbourne, he hasn't performed at all in the recent games. Elkeson didn't get much space and he was heavily marked all game so it's understandable he had a tough game. Harbin defended really well until Gao scored the second and Dori got sent off. After that it was clear that Harbin lost faith and Guangzhou just overwhelmed them.

Pohang adjusted very well to the red card. Gave 110% until the end and forced Shandong into some mistakes.

Shocking...Guangzhou Evergrande lost 3-1 at home to Changchun Yatai, their first loss at home since July 2012 against Guangzhou R&F.
Considering it was against a team that many thought would be fighting to stay out of relegation this season, it really is.
