That action prompted referee Jing Wang to show the African star the way out. The African star has now been sent off nine times in his career, receiving his first red card on January 14, 2007, against Olympique Marseille, during his time at Rennes. Despite playing with a man down, the visiting side matched the Tigers in every department of the game. Notwithstanding, the hosts took the lead a minute before the half-time break as Zihao Yang beat goalkeeper Zhifeng Wang from close range. Profiting from a well-taken cross by Yumiao Qian, the defender took advantage of Wuhan’s shambolic defending to head past Wang.
