SUZHOU - Shanghai SIPG tied Shijiazhuang Ever Bright 1-1 with Marko Arnautovic scoring two invalid goals in the fifth round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) here on Sunday.
In the 28th minute, with the precise assist of the Uzbek midfielder Odil Akhmedov, Arnautovic contributed a diagonal tap-in, but the goal was ruled out due to Lv Wenjun's offside when angling for the ball passed by Oscar dos Santos Emboaba Junior.

Shijiazhuang broke the deadlock in the 50th minute. Zang Yifeng launched an attack in front of the box, followed by a fall down cross of Brazilian Luiz Muriqui. Oscar's sliding shot was denied by the post and the ball was bounced to the front of the goal after hitting Shanghai defender He Guan, gifting Zang an easy shot to the empty net.

The same story happened to Arnautovic again in the 83rd minute, who contributed a turn back volley with the assist of Hulk but was judged as being offside.
"We are a little nervous at the beginning, but overall, we did a good job. Few teams in the CSL can draw Shanghai SIPG, so this one point means a lot to us," said Muriqui after the game.
