Xinhua, July 4, 2015 Adjust font size:

The Brazilian winger Aloisio's penalty not only helped Shandong Luneng FC lead the visiting Liaoning Whowin, but also made himself monopolize the tournament's leading scorer all to himself.

The 27-year-old striker put the domestic team ahead in the 16 minutes from the spot. Shandong was awarded the penalty kick after Liaoning's defender Kim You-Jin committed a foul to Aloisio in the penalty area.

Liaoning strengthened attack in the second half, and had three fabulous chances to get the ball into the net, but failed to grab any. The visiting team almost made it even at the beginning of the second half, a push shot from Yang Chaosheng made Shandong's goalkeeper Wang Dalei annoyed and shocked as the ball passing by the left post.

Diego Tardelli, the first China-based player to be called up to Brazil's national team, expanded the leading advantage in the 83 minutes. The 30-year-old Brazilian has scored three goals so far after an injury-interrupted start this season.
