South Korean referees in China strongly criticized the defeat of the Shanghai Hai River for making the wrong decision.
Yokohama F. Marinos defeated Shanghai Hai River 1-0 in the first round of the 2024-2025 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Champions League Elite Round of 16 at Pudong Stadium in Shanghai, China on the 4th (Korea Standard Time).
Yokohama won the first game by defending Andersson López's header first goal in the 30th minute of the first half. With the first leg ending with Yokohama's victory, the second leg of the round of 16 will be held at Nissan Stadium in Yokohama's home stadium at 7 p.m. on the 11th.
After the game, several Chinese soccer fans, including Shanghai fans, reportedly criticized the South Korean referee team that played the game, drawing keen attention.
South Korean referee Kim Jong-hyuk was in charge of the match, while the assistant judges were Park Kyun-yong and Jang Jong-pil. Video reading (VAR) referees and assistant VAR referees were Kim Woo-sung and Chae Sang-hyup, respectively.
The question came out in the 34th minute of the first half. Shanghai's cross into the Yokohama penalty box hit defender Katsuya Nagato's right thigh and touched his right hand.
When the ball reached Nagato's hand, the Shanghai players all insisted on handball fouls and demanded a penalty kick. However, referee Kim Jong-hyuk did not show any reaction. 온라인바카라
