GUANGZHOU - Guangzhou Evergrande's goalkeeper Zeng Cheng became the hero as he denied Thomas Muller's spot-kick and helped his team beat the German giants 5-4 in penalty shootout here on Thursday.
Bayern's first attempt by Muller in shootout was saved by Zeng Cheng while Paulinho, Kim Young Gwon, Yu Hanchao, Zhao Xuri and Feng Xiaoting held their nerve to convert spot kicks, helping Evergrande take away the victory.
