Jacob Mulenga scored a goal for his Chinese club Shijiazhuang Yongchang when they beat Demba Ba’s Shanghai Shenhua 2 – 0 at home.
His Bulgarian coach Petrov again partnered Mulenga with Iceland international Eidur Guðjohnsen in attack and Mulenga opened the scores in the 29th minute with an assist from midfielder M Rondon.
Shijiazhuang Yongchang were awarded a penalty in the 54th minute but the 31 year old Zambian international this time did not attempt to take the spot kick after his miss last week and allowed Guðjohnsen who converted.
Mulenga was sustituted in the 88th minute.
This was Mulenga’s 10th goal of the season and his goal took him into the top 10 on the top scorers chart in the league.
