Salley goal earns Shanxi a point

Peter Utaka's penalty gave Dalian the lead but Jonas Salley replied eight minutes from time.

Cristian Danalache scored a hat-trick for Jiangsu Shuntian but it missed the chance to go top with a 3-3 draw at home to Shandong Luneng.

Shandong twice took the lead through Du Wei (three) and Lu Zheng (18), but Danalache struck in the seventh and 30th minutes before adding a penalty on the stroke of half-time to give Jiangsu the edge.

However, Simao equalised for the visitor after 58 minutes to earn Shandong a draw which moves it three points clear of the foot of the table.

Jiangsu sits a point behind leader Guangzhou Evergrande.

Tianjin Taida came from behind to register a 2-1 win at fifth-placed Guangzhou.

The visitor trailed to Ayegbeni Yakubu's 23rd-minute goal, but hit back through Yang Cao (34) and Sjoerd Ars (42).
