In the 7th round of the 2024 Chinese Super League, Chengdu Rongcheng will play Shenzhen Xinpeng City at home. Referee Guan Xing made a controversial decision, and after watching the slow motion in slow motion, he awarded a penalty to Chengdu Rongcheng and sent off Dugaric with a red card.
In the 53rd minute of the game, Felipe swept in the penalty area, and the ball was blocked by Dugaric from the bottom line. Subsequently, the video assistant referee intervened to make a decision, believing that Dugaric was suspected of handball and asked the referee to look back in slow motion.
After three minutes of watching, the referee awarded a penalty and showed Dugaric a second yellow card, who went off in red. This made Dugaric very dissatisfied, and applauded and mocked the referee when he left the field, and the coach of Xinpeng City was also very dissatisfied, constantly yelling at the fourth official.
In slow motion, the ball did hit Dugaric's arm, but instead of extending his arm, the latter was hit on his elbow as he turned. Therefore, the referee's decision sparked controversy, with some fans saying, "The penalty is no problem, the yellow card should not be given." "The penalty is unmistakable, but the second yellow card is debatable. ”
Another fan said, "It can be judged or not, but there should be no additional yellow cards, and the continuity of the game should be ensured." Felipe then scored a penalty to give Chengdu Rongcheng the lead again. Xinpeng City not only fell behind again, but also fought with one less person, and Guan Xing's penalty completely broke the balance of the game.
