Defeat for Benitez means his young side drop to bottom of their group with two points. SHANGHAI: Rafael Benitez hit rock-bottom in the Chinese Super League on Sunday after Giovanni van Bronckhorst's Guangzhou R&F extended Dalian Pro's wretched winless start to the season.

To rub salt into the wounds of former Liverpool manager Benitez, the match was effectively a home game for his team because it was played at Dalian's youth training base. Torrential rain gave way to fierce heat on Sunday and Benitez had a white towel slung around his neck to wipe off the sweat. In the build-up to the match, Benitez said that his side is the youngest in the CSL and he is committed to following through on the club's"blueprint" of developing young Chinese players.
