Asian Games 2014

In semi-final stage of the 2014 Asian Games, Abdevali executed 5 to appear to pin his opponent Korean Wrestler Jung Ji-hyun, and was initially announced by the referee as the winner. The Korean coach protested and the referee revised the decision. Eventually, Abdevali lost the match 6-9 to his opponent.[1]
