HONG KONG : Shanghai Port claimed the Chinese Super League title at the end of a foul-tempered clash with nearest rivals Shandong Taishan on Sunday, picking up the point they needed with a 1-1 draw at Pudong Arena in a game that featured five red cards.
Lu Wenjun had given Shanghai a 16th minute lead only for bedlam to break out late in a first half that had been growing increasingly fraught, with referee Mametjan Ahmet handing out a flurry of red cards.
Tempers flared and Shandong's Moises was sent off as a scuffle broke out all over the Shanghai penalty area, while Port were soon reduced to nine men after Ahmet consulted the pitchside monitor. Shandong, who trailed by five points going into Sunday's match, needed to win to take the title race into the final round and went close to equalising just after the hour mark when second half substitute Fei Nanduo hit the post.
Shandong did manage to pull level with a minute remaining, Xie Wenneng scoring from close range after Cryzan's initial shot from the edge of the area had been parried by Yan Junling.
