HONG KONG (Reuters) - Shanghai SIPG coach Andre Villas-Boas has said powerful Chinese rivals Guangzhou Evergrande are "dominating" the Asian Football Confederation and enjoyed the referees' favour during their Asian Champions League quarter-final.

Nine-man SIPG reached the ACL semi-finals in dramatic fashion on Tuesday, with a 5-4 penalty shootout win after home side Guangzhou had overturned a 4-0 first leg deficit to take the game into extra-time.
