In the Asian Cup final, the Qatar men's football team played against the Jordan men's football team, Qatar defeated Jordan 3-1, and the team defended its title for the first time in history.
The first one was suspected of diving, Afif took the ball forward, suddenly stopped, the opponent No. 3 had physical contact with him, the calves of the two people touched, Afif's right foot obviously took the initiative to lean towards No. 3, and began to fly forward on tiptoe at the moment of encounter, which was obviously Afif took the initiative to touch porcelain, the other party just did not brake the car, and Ma Ning decisively awarded a penalty.
There is no controversy about the second penalty, just that if the referee **, this penalty will not be awarded, after all, the opponent has just equalized, and the general referee will not give a penalty at this time, but after watching **, this ball must be given a penalty.
The third Afif is more like diving, 3 to one, Afif got a single goal, he is not trying to score, but trying to make physical contact with the opponent's goalkeeper, although the opponent's goalkeeper did not touch the ball, there is no superfluous action, and there is not even the inertia of rushing forward, and Afif deliberately jumped forward to change the direction of the ball before the goalkeeper was about to touch the ball, and fell to the ground by the way. It was obvious that he took the initiative to rush the goalkeeper, and the ball could have been shot past the goalkeeper, but he didn't do it, but found a way to touch the goalkeeper to get a penalty.
The game is very controversial, especially the first penalty is too deadly, if not awarded, the next 2 penalties will not have, the first penalty gave Qatar an obvious signal, that is, the player wants to find a way to get a penalty in the penalty area, which makes Jordan difficult to play, after all, it is impossible not to make action in the penalty area, as long as the action is possible, it is possible to get a penalty, Qatar in the opponent's penalty area in the whole game on a total of 3 and the opponent contact has won a penalty, the penalty success rate is very high.
The two semi-finals are very exciting, so I look forward to the finals even more, but too often VAR intervention makes the game too fragmented, and on the occasion of the final, after Jordan got up, it is not so much that it was pressed down by Qatar, but by VAR pressure, although strictly speaking, there is no problem with the penalty, but the perception is very average. VAR is about absolute justice, but there are always some grey areas in football, especially in this kind of final, which can be easily controlled by the referee.
Summary. This Asian Cup has become Ma Ning's penalty solo show, first in the knockout round to help Qatar get a penalty to eliminate the opponent, in helping Iran get a penalty to eliminate Qatar's least favorite opponent Japan, in the semi-finals Qatar was misjudged by the other party to take a penalty, but in the end it still entered the final, the final is to use Ma Ning anyway, after all, China has a saying to send people to the end, sure enough, Ma Ning is giving Qatar 3 penalties, Qatar can win the Asian Cup, Ma Ning is definitely the first hero, Manin also set a new record of five penalties awarded in three knockout games.
