A 2-1 victory for Shenhua was the outcome of Saturday's challenge match against its sister club Sydney FC at Hongkou football stadium. A healthy 10,000 crowd turned up to pay their respects to club legend and Chinese sports personality Xie Hui, for which the match doubled as a testimonial of sorts.

In previous years it was the most eagerly awaited fixture on the Chinese football calendar. Dalian and Shanghai Shenhua, the two pre-eminent footballing powers in the country, have 10 championship titles and seven runners-up honours between them in the 14-year history of the Chinese professional league. The fact that all the runners up spots, and only two of the ten titles belong to Shenhua, made it all the more poingant in their crushing 3-1 victory over Dalian at Hongkou Stadium on Saturday night.
