In the 4th round of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan challenged Qingdao Manatee away, and the Chinese Super League ushered in the Qilu Derby. Shandong Taishan won one win, one draw and one loss in the first three rounds, accumulating 4 points, and the record was not satisfactory. Facing Qingdao Manatee, it is a must-win game for Cui Kangxi and the players of Shandong Taishan.
After the start of the game, the two teams played very fiercely, and there were many fouls, so it can be said that there was more than enough confrontation and not enough excitement! At the end of the first half, the two teams played 0:0, but a controversial penalty in the game once again made the referee the protagonist of the game.
In the 37th minute, Shandong Taishan team Cressan made a wonderful pass, and after Fernando won the ball in the front court, he scored in the far corner and took a 1:0 lead. Fernando was also very excited after his goal. From Cressan's pass to Fernando's goal, there was no foul in between, and Fernando was not offside, so it can be said that there was no problem with this goal at all.
But just as Shandong Taishan celebrated the goal, the VAR referee appeared again. After this situation appeared, judging from the reaction of the commentator, he had been paying attention to the entire passing process of the goal, and after repeated watching, no foul action was found.
However, the VAR referee's perspective is obviously different from that of the commentators and fans. They looked back at a foul before the seven or eight passes, a foul nearly two minutes ago, when Pato did kick Kanggua when he was stealing the ball, and there was no problem with that foul.
There was no problem with the foul, but a goal two minutes after the foul was whistled was clearly a bit far-fetched. Such a blow penalty obviously made the coaches and players of the Shandong Taishan team very dissatisfied, and in the end, the team's substitutes were not unexpectedly yellow cards.
Although Shandong Taishan finally relied on Delgado's goal to defeat Qingdao Manatee, such a penalty will obviously become a major controversy after the game.
