Shanghai lose ground on leaders after ill-tempered draw


HONG KONG (Reuters) - Shanghai SIPG and Guangzhou R&F were both reduced to 10 men after a fight broke out in their 1-1 draw on Sunday that left Guangzhou Evergrande four points clear at the top of the Chinese Super League.

Both sides were a man down for the entire second half after Guangzhou's Li Tixiang and Shanghai's Fu Huan were sent off after a brawl following second-placed SIPG's equaliser just before the break.
