A South Korean player caused uproar in China after he was pictured with his foot on the Panda Cup. The photograph caused uproar in Chinese media and on social media, with the organising committee accusing the Koreans of "a serious insult". "First of all, we apologise for the situation, one of our players made a huge mistake," said one South Korean team official. Chinese media meanwhile documented other instances of perceived injustices at the hands of South Korean teams. South Korea defeated New Zealand and also beat Thailand to win the Panda Cup mini-tournament, which is in its sixth edition.
