The reserve sides met the day after Evergrande’s first team had beaten their counterparts from Shandong in the Chinese Super League but the game was overshadowed by the sight of a fist fight.

In the 35th minute, Situ gave away a penalty and the pair exchanged words before exchanging blows.

They were pulled apart by teammates and coaching staff.

The game was stopped for seven minutes with Wang sent off and Situ given a yellow card before being substituted.
