Bolivian striker Marcelo Moreno pulled off a hat trick to lead Slovenian manager Slaviša Stojanovič's wards, as he also opened the scoring at the 27th from an assist by defender teammate Jiang Zhe.

The Bolivia international scored again at the stroke of halftime after Tianjin's Colombian forward Fredy Montero equalized the count at the 29th.

Mozambican defender Zainadine Júnior leveled the score to 2-2 with a goal at the hour mark of the match before Moreno scored his third and final goal at the 71st to give the lead back to Changchun.

After that, a double by the Tianjin Tigers' Australian defender Aleksandar Jovanović turned the tables around, but an own goal by Júnior two minutes before full time settled the draw and a share of the point in the league table for both squads.

Meanwhile, Hebei China Fortune also settled for a 1-1 draw with the improved Jiangsu Suning eleven at their home ground of Qinhuangdao Olympic Sports Center Stadium last Saturday, via Sofa Score.

Jiangsu Suning drew first blood with a goal from former Chelsea midfielder Ramires at the 22nd minute. Hebei tied the count one minute before the hour mark with a strike from defensive midfielder Stéphane Mbia as both teams remained unbeaten early in the season.

The predicted result is a 2-0 victory for Hebei China Fortune.
