Frank Acheampong scored his eighth goal of the Chinese Super League season, but it wasn't enough to save Henan FC from a 2-1 defeat to Qingdao West Coast on Saturday afternoon.
The Ghanaian winger showed sharp movement in the box and smashed home a through pass from Abudulam in the 23rd minute to bring Henan level.
His energetic display kept the visitors hopeful, but the numbers game quickly shifted.
Henan's Iago Maidana was sent off just four minutes before Acheampong's goal, leaving them a man down for over 70 minutes.
