March 11 (Xinhua) -- According to the Beijing Youth Daily, the Chinese League One team Yunnan Yukun sent a letter to the referee management department of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) and the management department of the professional league, filing a written complaint about two suspected misjudgments in the first round of the Chinese League One.
In the first round of the first league on March 9, Yunnan Yukun drew 0-0 away to Foshan South Lions. In the 39th minute of the match, Mu Xiekui was suspected to have been put down by the opponent's goalkeeper Yang Chao after he broke into the penalty area. However, the referee, Niu Minghui, did not recognize Yang Chao as a foul. The Yukon team was puzzled by this, as the image data showed that Yang Chao did not touch the ball in the process of putting down Mu Xiekui.
In the fourth minute of the second half of extra time, Yukon's Cao Haiqing burst into the opposing team's penalty area from the left side, and was brought down by Zhang Xingbo near the penalty area line, which led to Niu Minghui awarding a free kick outside the penalty area. The penalty was also challenged by the Yukon team, who, according to the image data, believed that the foul occurred inside the penalty area.
It is reported that the Yukon club after careful consideration, decided on the above two controversial penalties to the CFA referee department and the professional league management department to file a complaint, the written complaint has been submitted on the 10th through the official channels. Yukon Club believes that the above two penalties are misjudged, affecting the outcome of the game.
Professional clubs have issued similar complaints in previous seasons, but unlike in the past, the Football Association will not only accept complaints from clubs about controversial penalties this season, but will also publicize the results of specific deliberations.
Although the above two controversial penalties for error or omission, still to be refereeing department through the authoritative means of professional judgment, but Yukun around the controversial penalties around the complaint is very typical, the football association will publish the results of the deliberations and when to publish is also very interesting. Shortly after the start of the new league season, there are clubs on the controversial penalties filed a complaint, the actual referee management throughout the season will not be smooth sailing, which also constitutes a huge test of the industry management department.
