Zhejiang FC, a member of the Chinese Super League, beat Thai team Buriram United 3-2 in the fifth Group H qualifying match of the 2023-24 AFC Asian Champions League held at the Huzhou Olympic Sports Center in China on April 29. Buriram (2-3, +0) is in third place, and Zhejiang (2-3, -4) is in fourth place.
The two teams exchanged seven yellow cards on the day, displaying fierce competition. Players who played in the K-League were also seen. Last season, Leonardo, who played the leading role in Ulsan Hyundai, started as a reserve player and scored an equalizer in the 27th minute of the first half to make the score 1-1. Defensive player Kim Min-hyuk, who played for Seongnam last season, played as the main center back for Buriram.
After the game, a problem arose. Buriram was hit by a Chinese player and fell. Angered by this, Buriram’s Azerbaijani striker Ramil Sheidaev rushed to Zhejiang midfielder Zhang Jiaqi. Then, Chinese players beat Sheidaev in groups. As Buriram’s players got tangled together, the stadium quickly turned into a battleground.
It was only one minute after security guards were dispatched to the stadium that the situation finally calmed down. However, excited Chinese home fans chanted “losers” to the Thai players. Chinese fans were defending the Chinese players who collectively beat them.
As a result, players who were involved in violent incidents will be given disciplinary action. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) announced on Wednesday, “Saved teams Yao Jun-seong and Leonardo will be banned from eight matches. Buriram’s Sheidaev will also be banned from eight matches.”
In addition, Zhejiang player Dong Yoo-joon and tactical analysis team Wang Ji-an were banned from six matches. Zhejiang was fined 10,000 dollars. 메이저 토토사이트
