Dalian InBev continued its winless run away from home, leading by two goals and being held to a controversial penalty draw

Special correspondent Ding Xu reports With a two-goal lead away from home, Dalian InBev Haifa drew 2-2 with Wuhan Three Towns in the 12th round of the Chinese Super League. What made InBev angry was that the penalty kick that was drawn was extremely controversial, and the 3 points in hand became 1 point, and the curse of winless away games continued.

Prior to this round, InBev was 9th with 13 points and Three Towns was 12th with 11 points, six and four points ahead of the relegation zone. InBev has been plagued by injuries recently, and although Alimi and Rabuyad went to Wuhan with the team, they failed to make the 23-man squad for two consecutive rounds.

In the starting lineup of this campaign, InBev made two adjustments in the midfield, Jin Pengxiang and Cao Haiqing entered the start, replacing Fei Yu and Wen Jiabao, and the old captain Lu Peng finally "liberated" from the center back and returned to his familiar central midfielder position. Due to injuries and technical and tactical reasons, InBev only sent Malele and Traore to start the battle of Hanlian, with Kalanga on the bench.

In the 14th minute, Shao Puliang made an ultra-low-level mistake in passing the ball in his own penalty area, and passed the ball directly to Mao Weijie, who shook Park Zhizhu on the right side of the penalty area and scored at a small angle. "Prince of Dalian" Mao Weijie scored the first goal of the Chinese Super League, and InBev led 1-0 against the hosts. "I'm happy and excited. I've played seven Super League games and I'm very anxious, seeing my teammates score goals, I want to help the team, this goal is my own start, and hopefully I will get better and better. ”

The three towns, which stabilized their positions, immediately launched a counterattack. In the 17th minute, Chen Zhechao shot from the left, and Sui Weijie pressed the ball under him. Just when the Three Towns were on the verge of scoring at any moment, InBev poured cold water on the home team. In the 34th minute, Lv Peng fought with Liao Chengjian in the backfield to fight the "knife mountain ball", Liu Zhurun got the ball in the middle circle and sent it straight to the stopper, and Malele went to the right side of the penalty area to send the ball into the far corner of the goal. Malele scored his fourth goal of the season in the Chinese Super League, and InBev led 2-0.

In the first half, Three Towns managed a whopping 60.4 per cent possession, 6 to 5 shots on goal and 1 to 2 on target. InBev's only two shots on target were converted into goals, which was extremely efficient! 'We played very well in the first half and the players followed through on the tactical requirements and got the start we wanted. Li Guoxu said. After the break, Three Towns coach Deng Zhuoxiang successively replaced Dalan and Zheng Haoqian, two good attackers.

In the 49th minute, Deng Hanwen crossed from the right, Sauer shot at the ball in the middle of the penalty area, and Sui Weijie made a world-class save. Subsequently, Li Guoxu also replaced two people in a row, Yan Peng and Yang Mingrui replaced Zhu Pengyu and Liu Zhurun. In the 73rd minute, substitute Yan Peng went to the right side of the penalty area and shot diagonally into the far corner slightly wide, and InBev missed the opportunity to "kill" the game. In the 81st minute, Li Guoxu changed two more people, Wen Jiabao and Song Yue replaced Cao Haiqing and Mao Weijie, and the formation changed from 442 to 541. In the 88th minute, after Malele was replaced by Kalanga, the scene changed dramatically.

In the 89th minute, substitute Zheng Haoqian scored the ball with a diagonal shot from the right side of the penalty area, and the three towns pulled back a point. Just one minute later, Traore jumped up and scramble with Zhong Jinbao in the penalty area, and the latter fell to the ground. After a VAR check, referee Kim Kyung-won awarded a penalty. "Penalty, I don't think so." Mao Weijie recalled after the game. Tudolie scored the penalty kick and scored his fifth goal in the Chinese Super League this season. It is worth mentioning that the Romanian striker has been in good form recently, scoring 3 goals in the last 4 rounds. 2 to 2, InBev was tied by three suppression posts!

According to full-time technical statistics, Three Towns had 65.1% possession to 34.9%, shots on goal 16 to 7, shots on target 4 to 2, and corner kicks 6 to 4. Li Guoxu concluded: "It was a pity at the last moment, I was beaten back, and the players did their best. I would like to give credit to the domestic players for giving their all in every training session and every game, we need to improve on the foreign players and the substitutes need to work hard to get ready for the game. Mao Weijie said: "We did a good job, but we were equalized by the opponent at the last moment, which is certainly not very comfortable, but a draw is a draw." I can't say too much about it, part of the score is on other people. ”

Since October 20 last year, the 28th round of the Chinese League 2-1 reversal of Wuxi Wugou, InBev has not been able to taste the taste of away wins for more than half a year, during the period of 1 Chinese League and 7 Chinese Super League aways, InBev 4 draws and 4 losses without a win.
