With the penalty kick scored by Axon, Chengdu Rongcheng won 2-1 at home against Shanghai Shenhua. The referee made a controversial decision in the 83rd minute and awarded a penalty after looking back in slow motion, which made Yu Hanchao very dissatisfied.
In the 83rd minute of the game, Yan Xinli handball in the penalty area, the Chengdu player signaled immediately, but the game continued. After winning the ball in the backfield of Chengdu Rongcheng, the referee blew the game to a halt. After looking back in slow motion, the referee awarded a penalty.
From the slow motion, Yan Xinli's handball action is very obvious, extending his left hand to expand the defensive area, and obviously blocking the ball.
After the referee awarded a penalty, Yu Hanchao was very dissatisfied and stopped the referee to plead. The reason is that he believes that he was brought down by his opponent in front of the court and that if the referee looks back at slow motion, he should look back at the foul.
Judging from the slow motion, Yu Hanchao was indeed knocked down by his opponent with his back, and there was indeed a suspicion of foul. However, as in the first leg of Real Madrid's Champions League semi-final against Manchester City, the video assistant referee could not intervene in this decision because the ball had been switched, so according to the rules, it was reasonable to award a penalty.
