In the 9th round of the 2024-25 Thai Super League season, Chiang Rai United played at home against the Lamphun Warriors, and the away team's goalkeeper Narijan knocked over his opponent with Muay Thai movements and left the field in red, and Guo Tianyu witnessed all this.
This was Guo Tianyu's first start for Chiang Rai United, and just six minutes into the game, Guo Tianyu was yellow carded for elbowing his opponent. However, Narijan's movements are more ferocious. In the 31st minute, Chiang Rai United counter-attacked quickly, Carlos Yuri almost formed a one-on-one knife, and Narijan rushed out of the box and knocked him to the ground.
In slow motion, Narijan jumped into the air and landed both knees on his opponent's head. Luckily, Carlos Yuri, who had been hit in the head, did not leave the field injured, got up and got back into the game after the team doctor came in for treatment.
Narijan's move was very similar to that of Germany goalkeeper Schumacher at the 1982 World Cup, when Schumacher knocked over Batista, causing the latter to break two ribs and knock out three goalkeepers.
Chiang Rai United broke the deadlock on a counter-attack just five minutes after the substitute goalkeeper came on, with Carlos Yuri stabbing in front of the goalkeeper and the goalkeeper watching the ball into the net.
In just 8 minutes, Narijan's uncalm action not only allowed the Limbhun Warriors to play one less game, but also fell behind the score, which can be described as worse.
