Asian team won the first Club World Cup! The Asian Champions League champion was disgraceful 2-1: Reversed by the referee, and both goals are controversial

In the focus game of the last round of the Club World Cup Group G that ended on June 27, last year's AFC Champions League champion, Ain from the UAE, reversed Moroccan team Vadard 2-1 and won his first victory to get out of the bottom position.

And this is also the first victory of the Asian team in this Club World Cup. Although Ai is worth congratulating because the Asian team has broken the curse of invincibility, there is considerable controversy in this victory.

In this game, Ain lost the ball in a flash in the first 4 minutes of the game. It was not until the fourth minute of stoppage time in the first half that they were lucky enough to tie the penalty. However, the slow-motion replay shows that Ain's player fell to the ground in the penalty area and created a point that was suspected of "diving", and the opponent's defensive player had no obvious contact with him. This penalty is worth discussing.

If the penalty is barely enough, then Ain's goal to reverse the score will be even more controversial. In the 50th minute, Kaku scored a goal in the penalty area, but his teammate Palacios, who assisted him, made a foul in the penalty area. The VAR replay has clearly shown that Palacios's shoe studs stepped on the opponent's defensive player's thigh, but the referee still scored a goal after watching the replay.

With the help of the referee, Ain successfully reversed 2-1 and won the first victory of the Asian team in this Club World Cup. Of course, considering that this game has nothing to do with qualifying, even if there is huge controversy, it will not have much impact. This slightly controversial victory also helped Ain regain some dignity for the previous two games of losing 0-5 and 0-6 to Juventus and Manchester City.
