Player The Nhat received a heavy penalty from the VFF Disciplinary Committee.

(Baonghean.vn) – According to information from the V.League 2017 Organizing Committee, regarding the off-the-ball foul on player Le Trung Hieu (Dak Lak) during the 2017 National Cup on February 4th, the disciplinary action against SLNA player Pham The Nhat was announced this afternoon, February 7th.

Accordingly, the VFF Disciplinary Committee issued the following decision: "Based on Clause 2, Article 39 - Acts of physical assault - of the VFF Disciplinary Regulations supplemented and amended in 2017, the members of the Disciplinary Committee unanimously agreed to fine Pham The Nhat 25 million VND and ban him from playing 5 consecutive matches in professional football leagues organized by the VFF. In addition, this player will have to cover all medical treatment costs for Le Trung Hieu's injury."

Defender Pham The Nhat received a rather heavy penalty from the VFF Disciplinary Committee.

Therefore, center-back Pham The Nhat will have to serve a five-match suspension in both the V-League and the National Cup in which SLNA participates. In addition, according to our findings, the cost of surgery to fix the nasal bone of Le Trung Hieu (Dak Lak) is approximately 15 million VND, and Pham The Nhat is responsible for paying this cost.

Immediately after the incident, coach Nguyen Duc Thang, the General Director of SLNA Football Joint Stock Company Nguyen Hong Thanh, the CEO Ho Van Chiem, and player The Nhat visited and encouraged midfielder Trung Hieu. The player currently playing for Dak Lak also expressed his sympathy for his colleague's moment of lack of self-control.

While center-back Hoang Van Khanh is training with the Vietnam U23 national team, The Nhat's absence for 5 matches will be a difficult challenge for the SLNA coaching staff in the upcoming games against Quang Nam, Than Quang Ninh, SHB Da Nang, and B. Binh Duong.
