Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo was on target for his Chinese Super League side, Changchun Yatai who defeated Chongqing Dangdai 2-1 on Tuesday.
The Chinese League had been on a two-month break as a result of the 2018 World Cup and resumed today with four matches played.
Chongqing Lifan took the lead through Seba in the sixth minute and their one-goal advantage lasted only thirteen minutes, with Ighalo volleying the ball into the back of the net.
An own goal from Yongzhe Cui put Changchun Yatai ahead in the 54th minute which eventually earned them their fourth win of the season.
Ighalo had at least two chances to score in the second half, his shot was parried by the goalkeeper before Changchun Yatai grabbed their winner and his lob went wide on 71 minutes.
The win boosts Changchun Yatai’s hopes of avoiding relegation as they now occupy the 12th position in the 16 team table.
