Dalian edge Shandong 3-2

League leaders Shandong Luneng visited Dalian Shide on Sunday and the visitors had won their previous three encounters since last year. But the home team's efforts soon paid off. International footballer Jankovic's vigorous penalty in the 18th minute put Dalian 1-0 ahead. And Zhao Xuri's direct free kick widened the gap to 2-0.

But, Shandong wouldn't let the match go. Zhou Haibin's long volley before the break and Han Peng's strike in the second half put the teams at two all. Then Zhao Xuri scored his second goal of the match to lead Dalian to a 3-2 win.
