Luiz Felipe Scolari's Guangzhou Evergrande claimed a surprise win over Bayern Munich on penalties at the Tianhe Stadium on Thursday. <br />Completing their tour of China following back-to-back wins over Valencia and Inter, Bayern were unable to break down a stubborn Guangzhou side, which featured Robinho for the first time, and paid the price. <br />As the game went to penalties, Thomas Muller failed to convert the first spot-kick of the shootout before Feng Xiaoting delivered at the crucial point. <br />Bayern - who face Wolfsburg in the DFL SuperCup on August 1 - offered their biggest threat through recent signing Douglas Costa but will target improvement ahead of their clash with the DFB-Pokal winners. <br />Pierre Hojbjerg should have scored five minutes in when he glanced a dangerous Mario Gotze cross wide from point-blank range before Manuel Neuer was forced into a series of saves. <br />Debutant Robinho was among the chances, although the German champions regained control prior to the half-hour mark. Had Robert Lewandowski sorted his feet in time, he may have had Bayern's first shot on target after 26 minutes. <br />David Alaba - a late swap for Mehdi Benatia due to a calf problem - was required to block Ricardo Goulart's goalbound effort soon after as the sides went in goalless at the break. <br />Pep Guardiola introduced Costa and Thiago Alcantara at the break and the pair offered a second-half threat - the former squaring for Lewandowski only for Feng to clear in time. <br />Costa again went close before the hour - his shot squeezing through Zeng Cheng's legs - before the Guangzhou goalkeeper pulled off an impressive save to deny the former Shakhtar man.
