A long-range second-half strike by Hulk helped Shanghai SIPG beat FC Seoul 1-0 in the Asian Champions League
SEOUL, South Korea — A long-range second-half strike by Hulk helped Shanghai SIPG beat FC Seoul 1-0 in the Asian Champions League on Tuesday.
Hulk, who signed for over $50 million in June 2016, made the difference for the Chinese Super League team six minutes into the second half.
Six minutes later, Seoul was awarded a penalty after striker Dejan Damjanovic was fouled by Shanghai's He Guan, who was sent off. But Yan Junling saved Damjanovic's kick.
Urawa Reds beat Western Sydney Wanderers 4-0 in Australia in the other Group F match. Four goals in the second half gave the 2007 champion a clear victory over the 2014 champ.
J-League champ Kashima Antlers defeated Ulsan Hyundai of South Korea 2-0, and the Brisbane Roar drew with Thailand titleholder Muangthong United 0-0 in Group E.
