Bassogog with two assists as Shanghai Shenhua beat Dalian Pro

The 24-year-old Indomitable Lion came off the bench to inspire his side to an impressive comeback win at Kunshan Stadium

Cameroon forward Christian Bassogog came off the bench to inspire Shanghai Shenhua to an impressive comeback as they beat Dalian Pro 3-2 in the sixth round of the Chinese Super League on Monday.

Coach Choi Kang preferred to start the 24-year-old Indomitable Lion on the bench in the match at Kunshan Sports Centre Stadium but he had to bring him on in the 38th minute after Cao Yunding was forced out due to injury.

The introduction of Bassogog improved the attacking options for Shenhua and in the 54th minute, he delivered an assist which was headed home by Bi Jinhao for a deserved lead.
