By the 9th round, he was suspended under the rules due to the accumulation of two yellow cards.
After the 10th round, Liu deregistered as an official and retained only his player status.
In the 21st round, he received a yellow card as a player in the 66th minute.
And in the 69th minute of the 23rd round, he received another yellow card as a player.
