Chinese international Li Xiaopeng dished out three excellent assists to help Shandong Luneng beat Bayi Zhenbang 3-0 in the fifth round of Chinese First Division here on Sunday.
The midfielder Li, who ran along the right flank in the national team, set unmarked striker Su Maozhen directly confront with Zhenbang's goalkeeper with a long accurate through pass only one minute into play. The tall forward, who capped in China's qualifying way to the 2002 World Cup, solidly put the ball into the net to making it 1-0.
In the 23rd minute, Li's free kick found Ukraine's Sergiy Nagornyak open before the goal and the latter headed it in. The third goal came in the 58th minute when Su met another free kick from Li and scored his second goal of the match.
Jia Xiuquan, head coach of Bayi Zhengbang, conceded the loss. " Luneng is a good team. I'm not surprised with the loss."
