Tianjin Quanjian remained in Shanghai as Cannavaro’s side faced SIPG for the second time in 4 days after the China Cup that found Villas Boas’ men triumphing through to the semi finals.
Hulk was the main attacking force of Shanghai with Elkenson second while Tianjin tried hard through out the game to keep them “at bay”.
Pato and Witsel on the other hand were trying to create dangers at the opponent’s box, unsuccessfully, while possession was cut in half 50% for each team.
Keepers kept the clean sheet and a goalless draw was the result at Shanghai’s stadium that leaves Shanghai second and Tianjin third in the race for the Chinese Super League.
