Evidence of the referee being too heavy-handed with SLNA in Quang Tinh's red card
(Baonghean.vn) - The red card and the penalty goal in the first half were the turning points that caused SLNA to lose 1-2 to Ho Chi Minh City FC in the match at Vinh Stadium. This was considered a heavy-handed situation by the main referee Truong Hong Vu.
In the 40th minute of the match between SLNA and Ho Chi Minh City, Victor Mansaray’s foreign player fired a shot, the ball hit Quang Tinh’s hand. The video showed that the SLNA player did not intend to play the ball with his hand, and he was completely passive in this situation.
However, referee Truong Hong Vu decisively awarded the away team a penalty and Tinh was sent off. It was Mansaray who scored from the penalty spot and played with an extra man to help the away team come back to win 2-1.
