Obafemi Martins on target to help Chinese clubside lifts the Chinese FA Cup
Nigeria forward Obafemi Martins hit the target in the second leg of Chinese FA Cup to help his side Shanghai Shenhua win the Chinese FA Cup.
Shenhua defeated Shanghai SIPG on the away goals rule after Sunday’s second leg ended 3-2 to make it 3-3 on aggregate.
SIPG, favourites before kick-off, took the lead through Lu Wenjun converting a cross from former Chelsea star Oscar.
Cao Yunding leveled before a stunning shot from Martins looked to have sealed the win for Shenhua.
However Brazil’s Hulk converted from the spot and an own goal from Shenhua captain Giovanni
Moreno gave SIPG the win on the night. Hosts SIPG also finished with 10 men after Fu Huan was dismissed in the final moments of the match.
Martins , who netted the only goal in the first leg, to fill the void of Argentina’s Carlos Tevez, who did not play in either leg of the final as his career in China heads for the rock.
