Sixth matchday underway in China with Axel Witsel and Tianjin travelling to Beijing to face Guoan at the Worker’s stadium.
Cannavaro’s side had first few chances to score first but Geuvanio, Pato and Witsel couldn’t find the solution, which came through Ke Sun’s shot out of the box, minutes before the half time rest; 0-1 to Quanjian.
A second goal to secure the three points never came and Guoan punished Tianjin after Lei Li picked up a loose ball and scored for a final 1-1 in Beijing.
Tianjin sit at 6th place on the table and play at home next against Jiangsu Suning FC on April 29.
