#Focus 2022 Super League Round 8 Highlights
The game to the 80th minute, the national security boss Xie Feng because of the referee's decision to feel extremely dissatisfied, a rage into the field and the referee heated argument. Emotions out of control, he soon received two consecutive yellow cards, two yellows into a red, and ultimately was sentenced to red card off the field.
Prior to that, Guoan assistant coach Cao Jiandong was sent off for protesting the out-of-bounds penalty for Tianjin's goal, a move that earned him his second yellow card of the game. Witnessing the eviction of the assistant coach, Xie Feng lost control of his emotions and in a rare move, chased the referee for an explanation.
Luckily for Guoan, they were able to hold on to the victory with a narrow 2-1 advantage. However, in the upcoming match against Meizhou Hakka, Guoan will be without the coaching duo of Xie Feng and Cao Jiandong, and the team's mainstay, Dabao, will also be suspended for accumulating four yellow cards.
