China's most dominant team the last couple of season's suffered a shock home defeat. Defending champions Guangzhou Evergrande fell 3-1 to Changchun Yatai.

Yatai had not managed to score in their first two games of the season, They got a freekick and the north east side who were almost-relegated last season scored when Fatos Beqiraj flicks a header into the net.

Just four minutes later, the visitors are awarded another set-piece. And again some poor marking from the champs, Walter Iglesias is left alone in the area and fires home to make it 2-0. Yatai in dreamland.

In the 49th minute, they went further ahead more schoolboy defending, Eninho outmuscling his opponent and a scoring a third coolly slotting it home. The Guangzhou crowd and players shell shocked.

Guangzhou got a lucky break in the 55th minute as a freekick strikes Eninho on the arm, Thats a penalty which Elkeson scores, But they would only get one back three-one the full time score.

TEDA equalize in injury time

Tianjin Teda drew at home with Shandong Luneng. In the 13th minute, Aloisio opened the scoring for visitors his shot took a bit of a deflection which helped ad lib. A concerned Arie Hann, as his Tianjin side are down 1-0.

It was until till injury time, when Tianjin equalised a Shandong player is down injured but Tianjin play on, not the best sportsmanship some would say Carmelo Valencia fires home to salvage a point for Teda.
