“I think this match was a very high level showdown,” said Slutskiy. “Throughout the game, you could see that the two sides were very close.
“I think the players did well in adapting quickly to the intensity of the game. We also created a lot of chances. Unfortunately we didn't get all three points today, but I'm satisfied with the players' performance.”

Both goals came in the second half, Luis Asue putting Shenhua ahead in the 48th minute band Gustav Ludwigson equalising in the 62nd minute.
Having seen his side start their campaign with a 2-1 win against China PR’s Chengdu Rongcheng FC, head coach Shin Tae-yong was left disappointed that they could not add another three points to their collection.
"While it's okay that our team drew away from home, it was still a disappointing match,” said Shin. “Shanghai will not have any league matches for a while after today's game, so they played with their full lineup.

“We have a match in three days, so we didn't play with our full lineup. Still, I'm grateful to our players for doing well, and they did a great job.
"Our first goal is to advance. If we make it there, we'll play in the Round of 16 and quarter-finals next year. It's a bit embarrassing to say this now, but if there's a significant player shakeup after this season, we could improve.”
Ulsan will be back to home comforts for the tie against Japan’s Sanfrecce Hiroshima on October 21 with Shenhua hosting FC Seoul of Korea Republic the next day.
