Changchun won 2-1 over Binh Duong

In the Changchun-Binh Duong clash, China international Du Zhenyu fired the home side ahead with an accurate free kick after only four minutes. But the visitors equalized eight minutes into the second half, when a defensive mix-up allowed Nguyen Anh Duc to slide the ball into the net.

Defender Cui Wei was culpable on the equalizer, but he made up for his mistake with a second half winner. 2-1, and an opening victory for Changchun.
