JINAN, China (Interstat) — Shandong Taishan opened its Chinese Super League season with a 2-1 victory over Tianjin Jinmen Hu FC on Saturday at Jinan Olympic Sports Center Stadium. The home side overcame an early deficit after Tianjin’s Vako Qazaishvili scored in the 17th minute. Shandong midfielder Zeca equalized in the 32nd minute before substitute Quiles netted the dramatic 88th-minute winner. The victory defied a national statistical projection of a 1-1 draw, though Shandong was a heavy favorite with a 94.4% win probability. The match was marred by a late red card shown to Tianjin’s Chen Zhexuan in the 87th minute.
