The national football team suffered a dumb loss, and the South Korean referee ignored the Lebanese red card action

On January 17, the group stage of the Asian Cup continued, and the Chinese team ushered in the challenge of the second opponent, the Lebanese team. This is a crucial game for the two teams who failed to win their first game and neither team can afford to lose if they want to qualify from the group.

Less than 15 minutes into the first half, there was a controversial decision in the game. The Lebanese player kicked Dai Weijun in the face with bright spikes, but the referee did not give any penalty.

In the 13th minute of the game, the Lebanese player kicked Dai Weijun in the face with bright spikes, but the referee did not make any decision. Judging from the slow-motion replay, this action is completely worthy of a direct red card. But the referee, after listening to VAR, did not pull out the cards.

The referee of this match is South Korean Ko Hyung-jin, who has officiated the Chinese team's matches many times before. In the first group stage match of the South Korean team not long ago, Ma Ning officiated the game as the referee and showed five yellow cards to the South Korean team in the game, including Son Heung-min's fake fall at the last moment.
