3 unusual facts about Darío Conca


Darío Conca

On 27 October, Conca assisted Gao Lin to score the league-winning goal in the injury time against Liaoning Whowin, which gave Guangzhou Evergrande their second Super League title and became the first team ever to defend the CSL title.

On 1 May, he scored a penalty after Guangzhou's Zhang Linpeng had been brought down in a home AFC Champions League match against Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.

Conca played an important role in the team's brilliant 2008 Copa Libertadores campaign, along with others such as Thiago Neves, Thiago Silva, Washington, and Cícero.


Kim Yong-Dae

In both legs, Kim performed fantastic saves to keep his team level including a diving save from Dario Conca and a kick-save from Muriqui among others.

Yang Yihu

However, Yang did not have much of a chance to play for Guangzhou as the club had many strong attacking players such as Muriqui, Gao Lin, Jiang Ning, Darío Conca and Cléo.
