Both teams showed poor performance. They showed their lack of skills in basic areas such as missed passes and control mistakes. Both teams struggled to create goals, but they rarely scored. China hit a lot of shots, but Mostafa Matar’s defense continued.
China failed to take advantage of a critical opportunity. Dai Wai Chun crossed from the right side in the 19th minute. Matar failed to cross properly and shot a thunderous ball towards the empty goal. However, Khalil Kamis removed it just before crossing the goal line. In the end, the game ended 0-0 without scoring a goal.
A dangerous scene came out on the day. In the 14th minute of the first half, Kamis raised his foot high while blocking Dai Wai Chun and hit Dai Wai Chun in the face. Dai Wai Chun left a scar on his face. However, offside was declared in the previous situation, and referee Ko Hyung-jin did not declare a foul. Kamis’ behavior was very dangerous. Apart from the foul, the scene could have resulted in him leaving the court. Video VAR was conducted, but no warning was issued.
British media Daily Mail also highlighted the referee’s decision. “Khamis made a head-high tackle at the Asian Cup. He kicked a Chinese player in the face with a stud, but the referee didn’t even admit it as a foul. Luckily, Kamis managed to avoid the red card,” the Daily Mail reported.
He added, “The referee didn’t give me a foul or a card even though he looked at VAR.” According to the Daily Mail, the fans responded, “It’s like a joke that a red card hasn’t come out.” Referee Ko Hyung-jin is famous for making generous decisions even within the K-League. Referee Ko’s decision also showed generosity in the Asian Cup.
