In the 10th round of the Chinese Super League on May 5, 2024, Shanghai Shenhua hosted Zhejiang. It was a pretty intense game, and in the end Shanghai Shenhua thrashed Zhejiang 4-0 to win their 8th straight game of the season and remain at the top of the table.
Shortly after the game started, Amadou's long range shot broke the deadlock and gave Shenhua the lead. Malalele's point-blank shot then extended the lead again to give Shenhua a 2-0 lead at the end of the first half.
However, the controversy of the match occurred between Malelai and Yue Xin. In the 64th minute of the match, the referee initially showed a yellow card to Malelai after he fell to the ground after a scramble with an opposing player. However, the referee then showed Malalei a red card and sent him off as he was unhappy with the penalty and kicked the ball away, realizing that it was his second yellow card.
In the 72nd minute of the match, Yue Xin was also sent off for a similar act. He kicked the ball out of the field after Amadou was knocked down and the referee showed him a second yellow card and sent him off as well. This left both teams playing with 10 men in the second half of the match.
Despite the fact that both teams faced the dilemma of playing with one man less, Shenhua continued to perform well. Luis scored twice in the second half to help his team extend their lead to 4-0 and eventually seal the win.
