Megabucks import Oscar began repaying some of his hefty price tag when he scored on his competitive debut for Shanghai SIPG, helping them seal a spot in the AFC Champions League group stage.

The Brazil midfielder, who quit Chelsea in a 60 million euro ($64 million) deal, rolled in SIPG's opener in Tuesday's 3-0 play-off victory over Thailand's Sukhothai FC.
