In the 8th round of the 2024 Chinese Super League, Chengdu Rongcheng will play Shandong Taishan at home. Referee Du Jianxin made an outrageous decision to award a valid goal when Felipe was clearly fouled, but luckily the goal was cancelled after a slow motion review.
In the 69th minute of the game, Rongcheng crossed from the left, Wang Dalei attacked to save the ball, but Felipe jumped up and scrambled and knocked the ball into the goal. Du Jianxin then pointed his finger in the middle circle, indicating that the goal was valid.
After Du Jianxin ruled that the penalty goal was valid, the Shandong Taishan players were enraged and collectively signaled that the opponent had committed an obvious foul. In slow motion, Felipe didn't even touch the ball, but knocked down Wang Dalei, who got out of his hands and caused the ball to go into the net.
Fortunately, Li Haixin, who served as a video assistant referee, reminded Du Jianxin in time and asked him to watch back in slow motion. In the end, Du Jianxin ruled that the goal was invalid. Despite the goal being cancelled, Du Jianxin's outrageous penalty caused him to lose the trust of the players of both teams. Some fans sharply pointed out, "This is an amateur referee, right?
It is worth emphasizing that Du Jianxin's penalty scale in this battle was soft, resulting in a fragmented rhythm of the game.
