A few days ago, the referee review team of the Chinese Football Association conducted a comprehensive inspection of the dispute between SIPG and Shenhua. The referee of the Football Association commented on the group stage and believed that Shenhua No. 20 player Yu Hanchao was already in an offside position when Wang Haijian shot. At the same time, Yu Hanchao's action of dodging the ball is an obvious move that affects the opponent's goalkeeper's ability to handle the ball, which constitutes an offside foul that interferes with the opposing teammate. Therefore, the first assistant referee was correctly offside.
At the same time, the referee ruled that the goal was invalid and looked back to see that the decision to uphold the decision was correct and VAR intervention was wrong. The official announcement of the Football Association is tantamount to publicly supporting SIPG and supporting SIPG Club. SIPG and Shenhua met in the last round of the Super League, and the team was originally leading 1-0 in this game. Gustavo's goalmouth shot gave SIPG a 1-0 lead, which made many fans say that they were surprised.
After SIPG took a 1-0 lead, they put all their energy into defense, hoping to keep the win alive. As a result, SIPG made a defensive mistake at a critical moment, and was seized by Shenhua foreign player Teixeira. Teixeira scored a brilliant goal to help Shenhua tie SIPG 1-1. Since then, the morale and self-confidence of Shenhua players have improved significantly.
Wang Haijian blasted out a world wave, making Yan Junling powerless. Just as Wang Haijian and his teammates were frantically celebrating the reversal, the referee blew the goal invalid. In the end, SIPG and Shenhua drew 1-1 after 90 minutes of fierce battle. After the game, Shenhua Club and fans were not convinced by Wang Haijian's offside goal, which was blown invalid by the referee. Then some fans thought that SIPG relied on the referee to score points in the derby.
In the face of these doubts, the referee review team of the Football Association determined that the goal was invalid through authoritative investigation and verification, and the referee blew the penalty for it. For the first time, the Football Association publicly supported SIPG, and many SIPG fans gave a thumbs up to the Football Association. I hope SIPG can be on the right track to compete for the championship in future competitions and continue to bring you championship trophies.
