On April 29, Beijing time, it has been two days since the Shanghai derby between SIPG and Shenhua in the 8th round of the Chinese Super League, but the discussion about the controversial penalty decision of this game continues. Just now, a media person broke the news that Shanghai Shenhua has filed a complaint with the Football Association about the cancellation of Wang Haijian's killer goal.
In the match between Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Port on the 27th, Wang Haijian blasted a world wave outside the penalty area in the 95th minute, which once helped Shenhua reverse the score. However, after VAR intervened, referee Fu Ming ruled that Yu Han was in a position after watching the video replay in person, and cancelled Wang Haijian's stunner goal, so Shenhua played 1-1 away from SIPG.
After the game, this penalty caused a lot of controversy, and many media people and Shenhua fans believed that the referee had different penalty standards. This morning, reporter Gan Hui posted on her personal social account that Shenhua has filed a complaint within the statute of limitations stipulated by the Football Association on the controversial penalty for the cancellation of Wang Haijian's killer goal.
There are two core points in Shenhua's appeal, one is whether Yu Hanchao really interferes. Judging from the game screen, at the moment when Wang Haijian got up and shot, SIPG goalkeeper Yan Junling immediately made a save, and after the goal and before VAR intervened, Yan Junling and other SIPG players did not signal to Fu Ming offside, so Shenhua thinks that it is doubtful whether Yu Hanchao really interfered with Yan Junling.
Second, the Football Association's penalty standards are not uniform. In the 6th round of the league Shenhua's home match with Beijing Guoan, Zhang Yuning scored in the 6th minute, and Fang Hao, who was in an offside position at the time, also had a dodge ball, but the referee determined that the goal was valid after VAR verification. Shenhua believes that the penalty results of the two similar situations are different, and the penalty standards are not uniform.
Some media people and fans also believe that the situation of the two goals is not the same. One of the more mainstream views is that Yu Hanchao was on the shooting line at the time, and if he didn't dodge, then the ball would eventually hit him.
Although there are many opinions, they are relatively authoritative. The Football Association will organize referee experts to comment on the controversial judgment, and answer questions and interpret the judgment from a professional point of view, which will at least be more authoritative than the opinions on the Internet.
According to the appeal method previously announced by the Football Association, after the club submits a complaint, the referee department of the Football Association will accept it within 24 hours, and reply within 72 hours after the end of the round of matches and announce the relevant evaluation results.
