AFC Champions League controversy? The opponent s overtime handball! The Japanese referee refused to judge the point, and Wuhan generals surrounded and protested

On the evening of May 24, the AFC Women's Football Finals kicked off. Wuhan Chegujiang Women's Football Team is located at the Wuhan Sports Center Stadium and faces the Melbourne City Women's Football Team in Australia. In the first half of overtime, a huge controversial penalty occurred.

The two sides fought 1-1 in regular time. When the Wuhan Women's Football Team was the first to concede the ball, they relied on Wang Shuang's buzzer-beating penalty in stoppage time to complete the tie. After the game entered overtime, in the 103rd minute, Melbourne City female football player Scott obviously opened his arms in the penalty area to touch the ball, but the Japanese referee ignored it.

Although Wuhan female football players protested wildly, the referee still refused to award a penalty, and VAR did not choose to intervene. From the slow-motion replay, we can see that the Australian players' handball foul was very obvious, but in the end the referee helped them escape.

Many netizens questioned: "A hundred percent penalty kick, Wuhan women's football team was hacked!"; "The arms were obviously spreading and interfering with the ball running route, why isn't it a penalty?": "What did the Japanese referee think in the final? Wuhan team just eliminated the Urawa Women's Football Team in the Japanese League!"

The Women's Football Championship champion of this year will qualify for next year's Women's Football World Cup, and the champion will also receive a prize of 1.3 million US dollars. Therefore, this final is worth a thousand gold.
