(Baonghean.vn) - Frustrated by the playing style of the Vietnamese team, the Thai players had many dirty plays and tricks, especially the situation where Thitiphan committed a dangerous foul on Que Ngoc Hai. However, no penalty cards were issued.
Right at the beginning of the second half, in an attacking situation, Thai players continuously committed dangerous fouls on Vietnamese players. In the 51st minute, in a long-distance dispute, midfielder Thitiphan made a dangerous, tight tackle into the legs of central defender Que Ngoc Hai.
Referee Al-Adba Saoud Ali, partly because he was lenient or did not observe well, did not issue any cards to the Thai players. Immediately after, Quang Hai was brought down again but the Qatari referee did not issue any cards.

Not stopping there, in the 64th minute of the match, Theerathon Bunmathan unexpectedly elbowed Trong Hoang. Fortunately for the Thai defender, referee Al-Adba Saoud Ali did not see this situation.
Because the referee was lenient with the Thai players, overlooking many of the Thai players' brutal fouls, Coach Park Hang-Seo was extremely angry, reacted to the referee and became the only person to receive a yellow card on the Vietnamese team's side...
