Fighting to the 80th minute, Guoan skipper Xie Feng was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, emotional rushed into the field, and argued with the referee. As a result, he was shown two yellow cards in a row, two yellows turned into a red, was sentenced to leave the field.
Looking back at the game, Guoan assistant coach Cao Jiandong had a dispute with the referee over the out-of-bounds penalty after Tianjin's goal, an act that earned him his second yellow card of the game and sent off. Witnessing the assistant coach being penalized, Xie Feng's emotions were completely out of control, and he made a rare move to chase the referee into the arena and theorize with him.
Nevertheless, Guoan won the match with a score of 2-1. However, in the next round against Meizhou Hakka, Guoan will face a dilemma without Xie Feng and Cao Jiandong, as both Xie Feng and Cao Jiandong will be suspended for accumulating yellow cards, while the team's Dabao will also be absent due to accumulating 4 yellow cards.
