In the 5th round of the 2024 Chinese Super League, Shanghai Port played Nantong Zhiyun away. Wu Lei made two penalties in the first half, and Oscar scored twice.
In the 12th minute of the game, Wu Lei was tripped by Anthony after breaking into the penalty area alone, the referee awarded a penalty, and Oscar took the penalty kick in one fell swoop, and the harbor successfully took the lead. Oscar broke the Super League goal drought since August 23, 2023, and also scored his first goal of the season.
In the 40th minute, Wu Lei burst into the penalty area and fell to the ground after making contact with Xue Qinghao, and the referee did not award a penalty. Judging from the slow motion, Wu Lei is suspected of fake falling, and some netizens said, "It's too embarrassing, this rank and age are too cheap." ”
Just 2 minutes later, Wu Lei burst into the penalty area and was pulled down by Luo Xin, but the referee still did not award a penalty. Seeing that the referee didn't say anything, Wu Lei kept slapping his arm to signal the opponent to pull people.
Subsequently, Oscar complained to the referee, and Du Jianxin explained to Wu Lei that he was communicating with the video assistant referee. After reviewing the slow motion, the referee awarded a penalty and showed Luo Xin a red card.
Judging from the slow motion, Luo Xin's action was very obvious, obviously pulling Wu Lei's arm, causing the latter to fall to the ground, and it was reasonable to award a penalty. Oscar scored again to complete the penalty double and give Harbour a 2-0 lead.
However, the famous reporter Chen Hua analyzed, "There is no problem with the penalty kick created by Wu Lei, and there is no problem with the red card." It can only be said that the referee strictly follows the rules to pick out the details. In the five Super League games this season, Wu Lei has been involved in 8 goals, scored 5 goals and provided 1 assist, and scored 2 penalties in this campaign.
