The visitors took the lead in the 33rd minute when Oribe Niikawa drove home a rebound before Guo Hui cancelled out the strike with a late goal.

Beijing finished the game with 10 men after Lang Zheng was dismissed in the final minute.

The hosts were already out of contention to reach the knockout stage before the game but they made a spirited start to this encounter.

Du Wenhui thought he had put Beijing ahead 13 minutes into the game when he was sent clear by Joel Griffiths at the far post but the unmarked striker clipped the ball against the left post from 10 yards.

Beijing continued their onslaught but were unable to any create clear-cut chances.

The visitors showed their hosts how it was done by taking the lead shortly after the half-hour mark.

Sho Hanai won a free-kick for Nagoya 30 yards from goal after he was challenged by Zhou Ting. The midfielder then curled a powerful shot that goalkeeper Zhang Sipeng tipped onto the left post but Oribe Niikawa beat defender Xu Yunlong to the rebound.

Tomohiro Tsuda then had the ball in the net just before the break but he had strayed offside.

The hosts started the second half as they had the first, with Nagoya defending in numbers to keep the strikers at bay.

Griffiths was proving a constant threat to the opposing defence and headed Zhu Yifan's cross just wide on the hour mark.

But Beijing grabbed an equaliser nine minutes before the final whistle when Guo Hui picked up a cross from Zhou Ting, turned and calmly fired past the goalkeeper.

The hosts suffered a late setback when defender Lang was sent off for a second bookable offence in stoppage time for a reckless challenge on Keita Sugimoto.
