The former Chelsea midfielder missed two penalties as Shanghai lost 1-0 to Urawa Red Diamonds in Saitama in Group E of the Asian showpiece competition.
He himself won the first penalty but saw his spot-kick tipped onto the bar. If Oscar scored just one of those penalties, he would've salvaged points for Shanghai, and instead they walked away with a loss.
But Al-Somah, who had cancelled out Ismail Ahmed's sixth-minute goal with a 43rd-minute equaliser, had the last laugh with a low volley a minute from time to ensure his side shared the spoils and remained top with eight points. Both sides hit the woodwork but they had higher possession and caused us problems.
Teixeira slammed a sumptuous opener after just three minutes when he robbed veteran Japan worldwide Yasuhito Endo and surged forward before hitting a powerful finish past Masaaki Higashiguchi.
