That is a football match between Shanghai and Tianjin in HongKou field on last Saturday evening. The match originally was a excellent game, because they both bought some famous star of football. But a footballer who name is Qin Shen for Shanghai, and he had a very rude behavior. He trod on a witsel who is a mumber of Belgium football team. The referee gave him a red card directly. Then Shanghai only have 10 footballers. Finally, they got 1:1 score with Tianjin.
Online News said that rebroadcast from some foreign countries, like SKY Sport from British. I think that is really ugly action on football match.

I like football, but Chinese football is really awful. I wish they could be successful, but the unfortunate fact is that they are not.
There was a football match between Shanghai and Tianjin at Hongkou Football Stadium last Saturday evening. The match was supposed to be excellent, because both teams bought some famous football stars, but a footballer named Qin Shen who was playing for Shanghai, behaved very badly. He slide tackled Witsel, who is a member of Belgium national team, so the referee gave him a red card immediately and Shanghai was left with only 10 players. The final score was 1-1.
News websites said that the match was rebroadcasted by some foreign TV networks, like SKY Sports, from Britain. I think that was a really ugly thing to do on a football match.
