His entry rejuvenated title chasing SIPG who piled on pressure to get an equaliser from the penalty spot through Davi.

With the game finely balanced,the stage was set for Gyan to grab the headlines,which he did as he opened his account for the Chinese Super League after being fed by Dario Conca in the 80th minute to send SIPG to the top of the league.
