CHANGCHUN, China, March 31 (Xinhua) -- Changchun Yatai lost to Guangzhou Fuli 2-1 on home turf on Saturday, still seeking for their first win after the fourth round matches of the Chinese Super League (CSL) 2018 season.

It was the home side that broke the deadlock in the 61st minute when Zhang Xiaofei received a cross from Tan Long to open the account.

In the 77th minute, Eran Zahavi awarded Guangzhou the equalizer as his direct free-kick shot beat the wall of players into the deep net.

And a penalty kick turned out be the winner when Renato Ribeiro Calixto converted it in the stoppage time, as a follow-up shot by Odion Jude Ighalo was disallowed after Du Zhenyu's penalty shot was saved.
