SUZHOU, China, May 10 (Xinhua) Polish midfielder Adrian Mierzejewski help Shanghai Shenhua tie Hebei FC 1-1 with a last-minute free kick, while Beijing Guoan bagged a 2-0 victory against Wuhan FC in the fourth round of Chinese Super League (CSL) here on Monday. Hu Rentian gave Hebei an early lead as his close-range shot ricocheted off the Shenhua player Wen Jiabao and into the net in the 5th minute. Hebei s goalkeeper Chi Wenyi fisted away a couple of promising shots as Shenhua tried hard to level the score. In the injury time of the first half, Feng Xiaoting s header was denied by Chi Wenyi, and Zhang Lu missed a dropkick as he failed to hit the ball.

Shenhua s confidence is based on the recent addition of six new players, including Wu Xi and Poland international Adrian Mierzejewski. However, considering the club last won a top-flight crown 26 years ago, Shenhua knows backing up its grand plans with performances on the pitch will be far from easy.
