CHANGCHUN, China, July 18 (Xinhua) -- Changchun Yatai beat Shanghai Shenhua 5-3 on penalties in the fourth round of Chinese Football Association Cup here on Wednesday.
However, Drogba from Shenhua still didn't play.
Drogba's coming attracted over 20,000 fans to watch the match. But Drogba was not in the starters and didn't play, which made fans disappointed.
In the first half, Yatai strikers Marquinhos and Weldon wasted lots of opportunities. On 24 minutes, Shenhua striker Anelka missed teammate's cross and wasted the best chance of the match.
After a full-time goalless tie, Yatai and Shenhua went into penalties. Shenhua's Yutao missed the fourth round kick. Yatai roared into the last eight.
