For a few days now, the football world has been surprised by the transfer of the "Atletico Madrid" duo Yannick Carrasco and Nico Gaitan to China. They have already made their debut for Dalian's "Yifang".
However, their first match was disastrously unsuccessful, and not even Jose Fonte could save them from the hurricane-like attack led by the Brazilian opponents.
The "Yifang" players suffered a heavy 8-0 defeat against Shanghai SIPG, where Oscar, well known to the Premier League fans, scored a hat-trick. Hulk also added one more goal.
Oscar scored the first goal of the match just one minute in and doubled SIPG's lead in the middle of the second half. Hulk converted a penalty in the 37th minute.
After the break, Wu Lei scored a brace following two assists from Oscar, while the Brazilian defender Lu Wenjun scored the third goal in the 75th minute. Wu Lei and Lu Wenjun extended the opponent's agony.
During this impressive loss, both Carrasco and Gaitan played the full 90 minutes, while Fonte was substituted at the end of the second half.
