Emmanuel Boateng scored the winning goal for Dalian Yifang
Ghanaian forward Emmanuel Boateng scored Dalian Yifang’s winning goal against Tianjin Teda in the second leg of China’s top flight play-off round on Saturday.
Dalian Yifang entered the game with a 2-0 deficit after losing to opponents at home in the first leg on Monday.
But Sea Blue got off to an excellent start to the game after going 1-0 courtesy of Liangming Lin in the 21st minute.
Boateng tied the score on aggregate for Dalian Yifang with his shot from close range in the 44th minute.
However, the visitors’ hopes of taking the game into extra time were dashed when Yue Song scored in the 78th minute to make it 2-1 for Tianjin Teda.
Both teams failed to add their goals as the match ended 2-1 for Dalian Yifang, but it was not enough to send them to the final after Tianjin Teda chose the only ticket.
Boateng’s compatriot Frank Acheampong was the captain of Tianjin TEDA as his team advanced to the next round of the playoffs.
Boateng has made 5 appearances for Dalian Yifang so far this season.
