BEIJING, Nov. 18 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Super League soccer champions Shandong Luneng beat Dalian Shide 2-0 in the FA Cup final in Changsha, Hunan province to claim the double Saturday evening.
A goal either side of halftime from Li Jinyu and Han Peng enabled the runaway league title winners to claim the club's second double after 1999 and a fourth CFA Cup triumph after they also lofted the trophy in 1995 and 2004.
Striker Li scored his 27th goal of the season to put Shandong ahead after 33 minutes.
Dalian, who beat Shandong in last year's final to win the double, had Serbian Miodrag Pantelic sent off for protesting when a penalty claim was waved away by the referee 20 minutes into the second half.
Han Peng headed home the second in the 73rd minute. |
