On September 13, reporter Li Xuan lamented on her social media that the enforcement level of the referees in the Central League was unspeakable.
Guangzhou lost 1-2 to Jinan Xingzhou in the 23rd round of the Central League tonight. In the first half, the referee awarded two penalty kicks to Jinan Xingzhou, which triggered great dissatisfaction from the Guangzhou side and also sparked a lot of controversy in the public opinion.
In response to the incident, Li Xuan took to social media to express her views, "After watching the China League match, I was deeply impressed that the referees in the Chinese Super League are considered to be relatively restrained, whereas in the Chinese League, which has less attention, the referee's performance is really hard to describe."
