Cannavaro knew the dangers after big wins (Guangzhou Evergrande last week) and with Pato out, it was a tough task to keep players focused against Guangzhou R&F for the 16th matchday of the Chinese Super League.
The Italian manager was happy to see his side up front after 25′ minutes with Ke Sun’s goal but Eran Zahavi equalised things for Guangzhou right on half time.
Clock was ticking, two teams were headed to sharing a point but Axel Witsel had different plans. The Belgian picked up a loose ball and wrote the final 2-1 for Tianjin Quanjian who are now sitting on 4th place and 28 points!
