On April 20, as the night drew to a close, the AFC officially released the heavy news that Guangzhou player Guan Haojin had been ejected from the match by the referee after being shown a red card for retaliatory kicking during a heated confrontation. The penalty means that Guan Haojin will face a suspension for three consecutive matches and a substantial fine.
In the German turn Zhu Yi's analysis, he pointed out that the AFC's fine is directly directed to the player Guan Haojin, rather than the Guangzhou team to which he belongs. Zhu Yi bluntly said: "This fine is Guan Haojin personal, if the club does not bear, then the money will have to Guan Haojin own pocket, although the number is not large, but it is also hard-earned money ah."
Facing the reporter's question, Zhu Yi further explained, "If Guan Haojin refuses to pay the fine, according to the disciplinary provisions of the AFC, the CFA has the right to enforce it."
