On the night of November 3, the first round of the fourth round of the Chinese Football Association Cup saw a battle between Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Seaport. In the first half, Lu Wenjun, Yang Shiyuan and He Jiao scored back-to-back goals, while Moreno struggled to equalize, but in the second half, Paulinho and Liu Zhurun scored consecutively, making the scoreline rapidly widen. Until injury time, Sun Shilin and Oscar were sent off for red cards, and finally Shanghai Shenhua lost to Shanghai Seaport with a score of 1-5.
Today, Oscar posted a self-recorded video on Chinese social media, recapping yesterday's game and explaining his red card incident:
"Coming to talk to you all about yesterday's derby in the same city, everyone played very well! We managed to take this first-leg clash and I played quite well, giving four assists to my teammates in a feast of goals.
"Unfortunately, I was red carded late in the game, the first red card of my career. But to be honest, I didn't want to cause any trouble, as captain I just wanted to go up and protect my teammates. Obviously, the other player came towards me and seemed to be trying to provoke, but I didn't want to get involved in a conflict, I just wanted both players to keep their distance. Red cards are part of soccer and we have to move on. Thank you all for your support!"
