On the 28th, the Chinese portal `Sohu Dotcom' released a recent report by the Chinese Football Association. The report contained numerous misjudgment and judgment errors. It even affected the outcome of the six-point game,' he said, introducing some examples in the report.
The most representative game is the 22nd round of the 2025 China Super League (CSL) between Changchun Yatai and Feng City at Changchun Stadium in Changchun, China on the 24th. Changchun won 1-0 with Ohi Omoyuanpo's winning goal in the fifth minute of the second half.
Changchun, which won two consecutive games following the match against Major U Haaca (1-0 win) in the 21st round, scored 15 points, narrowing the gap between Major U in 13th place and Feng City in 14th place to two points. In the CSL, the lowest two teams out of the 16 teams will be directly demoted.
However, it was revealed that the goal that shook the game of the relegation fight was ultimately caused by a misjudgment. The 'Sohu Dotcom' was concluded by the 'Chinese Football Association deliberation committee that the pressure on Changchun's arm during the game justified the foul and that the goal should be cancelled. 'It was a wrong decision for the referee to admit the goal, and it was also a mistake for the VAR not to intervene.'"
If Changchun's goal had been canceled, the result of the six-point relegation contest would have been completely different. Changchun was greatly out of the relegation crisis with three points. The ranking is still at the bottom, but it has narrowed the gap with teams outside the relegation zone. On the other hand, Shenzhen, which is on the verge of relegation, faced a situation that could increase its chances of relegation' he added.
The report also pointed out the misjudgment in the 23rd round of the match between Zhejiang and Tenjin. Zhejiang's Aleksandru Mitrita swung his arm during the game and hit both sides of Tenjin in the face. The board had to sew four needles into the eyebrow area. However, at the time, the referee declared a no-foul, and VAR was not activated. The report said 'Both misjudgment'
