In the ongoing Chinese Professional Soccer League (CSL), Dalian Pro faced their arch-rivals, Shandong Luneng Taishan, on November 15th at Dongguan Stadium. The match was fiercely contested as both teams put up a valiant fight to secure a victory.
However, it was Dalian Pro who emerged victorious, winning the game by a score of 2-1. But what made this win all the more satisfying for the home team was the fact that they had to deal with some controversy during the final whistle.
As the players left the pitch, referee Zhang Zhenping approached them and informed them that they would be receiving red cards. It seems that one of the Dalian Pro players had committed a foul on another player from Shandong Luneng Taishan, resulting in a yellow card being issued to him.
However, things took a turn when the referee went back to the pitch and gave the player a second yellow card, effectively ending his career in the league. The decision was met with shock and disbelief from the fans and the media alike, who were not expecting such harsh punishment from the referee.
The incident has sparked debates about the fairness of the game and whether or not the referee should have given the card earlier. Some argue that the player's actions warranted a red card, while others believe that the penalty was too severe.
Regardless of the outcome, it is clear that the incident has had a significant impact on the game, and it remains to be seen how it will affect future matches in the CSL. However, one thing is certain - it will certainly leave a lasting impression on the fans and players alike.
