SEOUL - Big-spending Guangzhou Evergrande of the Chinese Super League was held to a 1-1 draw after conceding an injury-time penalty to Japan's Kawasaki Frontale in the Asian Champions League on Tuesday.
Yu Kobayashi scored from the spot five minutes into injury time at Guangzhou's Tianhe Stadium after Yu Hanchao was guilty of a handball.
Guangzhou, the six-time defending CSL champion coached by Luiz Felipe Scolari, took the lead in the first half of the Group G match when Brazilian midfielder Alan Carvalho scored his third goal in as many ACL games.
