According to the regulations of Chinese FA Cup, only native players could play in this match. Without Alex Teixeira, Ramires, Jô, Sammir and Trent Sainsbury, Jiangsu Suning found it hard to fashion a goal-scoring chance with Wuhan Hongxing's intense defense and time-wasting techniques. Dan Petrescu, manager of Jiangsu Suning, was sent to the stands in the 69th minute for unsportsmanlike conduct when he objected to Wuhan Hongxing's time-wasting. [3] Wuhan Hongxing also received numerous yellow cards and hoped to make the match go into the penalty shoot-out. However, Jiangsu striker Ge Wei, who came on as a substitute in the second half, scored in the 7th minute of stoppage time as Jiangsu edged Wuhan Hongxing 1–0 and advanced to the next round. [4]
Players and staff of Wuhan Hongxing lost control and attacked their counterparts following the final whistle. Jiangsu's Xie Pengfei was thrown to the ground by several Wuhan players, while scorer Ge Wei was injured on his rib with scratches; many other Jiangsu players also suffered injuries in the melee. [5] Some reporters from Jiangsu were also assaulted in the incident as fans in the stands hurled bottles at the players of Jiangsu. [6] Jiangsu staff member Wu Bo, who was recording the match, was beaten up in the stand by a group of unidentified people. [5] Petrescu was also hit by a hard object in the stand. [7] Jiangsu Suning were later escorted to Wuhan Railway Station under police protection. [8]
Jiangsu Suning left Wuhan on a high-speed train immediately after the match. The officials of Wuhan Hongxing condemned the brawl and vowed to punish the players involved later that day. They also emphasized that the cause of the brawl could not be ascribed to Wuhan only as they believed the goal celebration of Jiangsu was a deliberate provocation. [9] On 12 May 2016, Wuhan Hongxing issued an apology to Jiangsu and announced that five plays involved in the brawl had been sacked by the club. [10] However, Wuhan Hongxing was exposed to use ineligible players in the match on the same day. [11] At first, Wuhan's player Lu Lei was found replacing by Jin Xin, who used to play for China national U-22 team. [12] More information of ineligible players was exposed by Sina Weibo celebrity Asaikana later that night. [11] Six starters of Wuhan Hongxing were found replacing by ineligible players. [13]

On 20 May 2016, CFA announced the survey results and rulings. They confirmed Wuhan Hongxing used ineligible players and attacked the players and staff of Jiangsu Suning in the match, which violated Article 11, 12, 13, 38, 55, 61, 66 and 101 of the Discipline Code of Chinese Football Association. [1] [2] Zhang Weijun, Zhang Xiaolong, Li Wenqiang and Jin Xin, who were ineligible to play for Wuhan Hongxing, was accused of attacking behaviour and using eligible players' identity.
