In the most anticipated meeting of the Chinese Super League on Saturday, Shanghai Shenhua and Tianjin Quanjian drew an intense match and one in which Alexander Pato missed a penalty.Full of ugly brawls, the game finished 1-1. The hosts, Shenhua, were outplayed for more than an hour but went ahead with a goal from Gio Moreno on 75 minutes.Axel Witsel levelled the scores with five minutes left and then Pato had the chance to win the game for the visitors with a hotly contested penalty.Unfortunately for the Brazilian, the pressure got to him and he sent the ball flying over the bar.His miss led to very unsportsmanlike behaviour from opponent Sun Shilin who approached the Pato to 'thank' him for missing.Disconsolate after the failure, Pato didn't seem to be very aware of the 'thumbs up' gesture.In the other games of the day, Beijing Guoan could only draw 1-1 at newly promoted Guizhou Hengfeng Zhicheng. Manuel Pellegrini's Hebei China Fortune completed a hat-trick of 1-1 draws with their visit to Chonqing Dangdai Lifan.
