On May 10th, the Review Group of the Referee Committee of the CFA unanimously recognized the important details of the clash between Guangzhou and Dalian Yingbo in the Central League. After deliberations, the panel confirmed that Dalian goalkeeper Sui Weijie's blow to the face of a Guangzhou player and Dalian foreign aid player Kotelnik's infringement on Guangzhou goalkeeper Huo Shenping should both be penalized with red cards. The decision was confirmed by a number of people from both teams during online hearings yesterday and today. In response to the clash, the CFA took a more cautious approach than before and conducted an exhaustive hearing process. It is reported that the 10th round of the China League will start tomorrow, so the result of the clash will be announced today at the latest, so that people can have a clear understanding of the incident.
The clash took place during the last round of the Central League match between Guangzhou and Dalian Yingbo. The referee missed a call on Dalian goalkeeper Sui Weijie for hitting a Guangzhou player in the face, and also failed to issue a red card for Dalian's Kotelnik's infringement on Guangzhou's goalkeeper Huo Shenping after the match. This omission has caused widespread concern and skepticism among fans and the media. The announcement of the result of this review will be of great significance to the handling of the conflict and the refereeing of future matches. It is expected that the FA will deal with this incident in a fair manner to ensure a level playing field and maintain the reputation of the China League.
