Just one week after missing several chances on his debut for Tianjin Quanjian, the former Milan and Chelsea striker continued to disappoint when he blazed a late penalty kick over the bar against 10-man Shanghai Shenhua.
After team-mate Axel Witsel had leveled the scores at 1-1, Pato had the chance to give his side the lead but once again failed to open his account in the Chinese Super League as Tianjin had to settle for a draw.
The 27-year-old made a £15.5m move in January from Villarreal, and his new side will be hoping for improved performances as he acclimatizes to life in China.
