Nigerian veteran striker Obafemi Martins scored a cracker as Shanghai Shenhua stunned rivals Shanghai SIPG to win the Chinese FA Cup final on away goals 3-3 on aggregate on Sunday. Shenhua went into the two-legged tie as underdogs against an expensively assembled SIPG side featuring the Brazilians Hulk and Oscar, Asia’s most expensive player at 60 million euros. At least SIPG went out fighting on an enthralling night at Shanghai Stadium. Hulk and international winger Wu Lei both tested out the away goal and on 15 minutes SIPG took the lead. The away players wheeled away in celebration, failing to spot that the referee had blown up for an infringement by Martins.
