Nigerian international, Odion Ighalo missed a penalty as Changchun Yatai bowed to a
1-0 loss to Guangzhou R&F at the
Guangdong Provincial People’s Stadium on Sunday.
The Nigerian, who completed a £20m move to the Chinese topflight club on transfer
deadline day, continued his scoreless streak having played two league games.
Yatai couldn’t break its winless jinx in the Chinese league this season as the club continue to struggle for maximum points
after losing to Shanghai SIPG 5-1 in their first league game last week.
Brazilian Junior Urso condemned Yatai to the second league defeat three minutes after Ighalo saw his 67th minute spot kick saved by Guangzhou’s Cheng Yuele.
The forward played for the entirety of the game as coach Lee Jang-soo’s side slip down to the bottom of the Chinese Super
League table with no point from two games.
