In a passionate match, Shijiazhuang beat Guangzhou by three points with a goal. Although Guangzhou equaled their opponents in key stats such as possession and number of passes, they unfortunately failed to capitalize on their chances with three fewer shots.
This game witnessed the indomitable spirit of Guangzhou's young players, who fought hard until the last minute of the game in an attempt to break the scoring deadlock. However, without the help of the front and backfield players, Guangzhou failed to turn the game around and eventually left with a regrettable loss. During the match, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Team made six consecutive substitutions, which is rare in the First Division League. Was it the acting coach's ignorance of the rules, or was he negligent in limiting the number of substitutions? This move begs the question. Recently, the Football Association tweaked the rules to allow teams to replace players with new ones in the event of serious injuries like concussions. So, did the home team players suffer such an injury in this game? As the game entered the end, Shijiazhuang Kung Fu made their sixth substitution in the 94th minute, with Nan Yunqi being an emergency replacement. However, how exactly did Nan Yunqi get injured? It turned out that he was injured in the 90th minute when he suddenly sat on the grass without any contact or collision. Nanyunzi was lying on the lawn, holding his right leg in pain and muttering something. Seeing this, the referee immediately went to call for help and carried him out of the stadium. At this time, we do not know the cause or exact location of Nam Yun Qi's injury, but he does not appear to have a brain problem. If Nan Yunqi's injury was the result of an illegal substitution, then Guangzhou should have won 3-0. Personally, I don't think there is any need for Guangzhou to appeal this. Even if the opponent violated the rules, Guangzhou should not be penalized in any way if they choose not to appeal.
Behind this controversial match, all forces are working for their own interests. As for Guangzhou, how to seek a breakthrough in the face of adversity will be the key to their future development.
