In the 22nd round, Beijing Guoan played against Wuhan’s three towns at home. The referee made a controversial penalty and awarded a penalty after Fabio fell to the ground in the penalty area. It is worth mentioning that it took 5 minutes before the referee made the final penalty. In the 25th minute of the game, Zhang Yuning made a diagonal pass and Fabio was knocked down by He Shuai in the penalty area. The referee did not award a penalty, and then the video assistant referee intervened in the penalty and asked the referee to look back at the slow motion.

From the slow motion, Fabio turned around with a protective ball, and He Shun, who failed to get the ball, kicked Fabio's calf with his left foot. It was only after 5 minutes that the referee finally made a penalty and awarded a penalty.

After the referee awarded a penalty, the players in the three towns of Wuhan were very dissatisfied. Five players surrounded the referee to argue, but the referee did not change the penalty. Fabio made it overnight and Guoan took the lead.

The famous reporter Chen Hua pointed out, "You said that Beijing Guoan's penalty kick is obvious, but it's okay to really brag. After all, defender He Shu still encountered Fabio. From a strict perspective, the referee can't help you. In fact, Fabio is still experienced. First, he gave He Shu to the body and made it difficult for him to defend, and even made him feel awkward when choosing movements, and then he reacted in time after being touched. This is experience."
