Although Hong Kong Football Team was inferior to its opponents in passing and controlling the ball in the first half hour of this match, the threat they actually created was greater than that of the United Arab Emirates. However, the first turning point came at 31 minutes. Zhou Yuande was a little slow when he took a shot with his opponent. The ball missed his left hand and was given a 12-yard penalty. As a result, Hong Kong Football Team fell behind first. “Honestly, the score does not reflect the situation. The 12-yard shot stifled our momentum.” Zhou Yuande believed that the Hong Kong team’s two 12-yard goals in the round were too harsh: “I know that my hand touched I got the ball, but I’m going to fight for the wave, where can I put my hands? On the second ball, my opponent was in the water.”

He continued to point out that the level of football certification was not good, and mentioned that he did not understand why Michael’s goal was overturned. At the end of the game, Stephen Penley was knocked down in the opponent’s penalty area and was not sentenced to death: “If you watch the ball, it will be overturned.” You should know that the referee was once morest us all night and we were the ones who were called every time, but that’s how football works sometimes.”

Rather than saying that I am not lucky, it is better to do better.” He said that the team had a difficult time in this battle earlier, but following training, he felt that he might strive for more and the whole team would review it. Make mistakes where you make mistakes, while continuing to do well where there are threats.

Li Yikai almost tied once more for the Hong Kong team.

As for Li Yikai, the only one who “avoided a disaster” among the three 12-yard VARs, he admitted that the handball of his backbone partner Zhou Yuande was unfortunate: “My and Yi Tsai (Chen Jinyi)’s handball, many people saw that it was not 12-yard. However, Judgment is also part of the game, and we tried our best. I hope to have a good experience in participating in the Asian Cup this time. Two goals and twelve yards is a good experience, but I played hard today and have no regrets.”

Mi Gao was accused of handballing the ball with his feet.

Michael, who was whistled for a goal, admitted that the ball hit his arm: “The rules are that if you hit a little, you will be whistled. It’s bad luck, but at least we showed that we can compete with our opponents.” He is currently playing for the German third-division team Ngos. Dart revealed that this was the first time he had participated in a game with VAR. “If I were in the German Third Division, my goal would have been counted. I don’t want to comment on the ball card, I don’t want to cause trouble, and I can’t change the result.”
