Surprising details about the linesman in the match between Quang Nam and Song Lam Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - In the second goal of the home team in the Quang Nam - SLNA match, the main referee "turned around" his decision after listening to the linesman even though he was also out of sight.
With only 1 minute left in the match, referee Nguyen Minh Thuan continued to be strongly protested by the away team when he recognized the goal that sealed the score 2-1 for Quang Nam, even though Tuan Tai stood on the goal line, using his shoulder to clear the ball after Huu Phuoc's header.

However, according to an SLNA player: “In that phase, after Tuan Tai stood on the line and used his body to push the ball out, the referee initially did not recognize the goal for Quang Nam and signaled Van Hoang to kick the ball forward to continue the match. It is not clear why the referee later changed his decision.”
The reason referee Nguyen Minh Thuan changed from not recognizing the goal to recognizing the goal for Quang Nam was because assistant referee Tran Van Hai advised and thought that the ball crossed the goal line even though this assistant referee was also out of sight.

Sharing with the press after the loss to Quang Nam, Mr. Nguyen Hong Thanh - Chairman of SLNA Club said: "We did not file any complaints or lawsuits, because even if we did, we would not be able to change the result of the match.
However, it was clear that the referee was wrong. Van Cuong rushed out and tackled Van Duc's leg. The referee should have given the Quang Nam goalkeeper a red card and given us a penalty. After the match, Van Duc told me that he had been illegally blocked. Quang Nam goalkeeper Van Cuong also said he was at fault, and was surprised that he was not penalized."
"The referee could not see the second goal and yet dared to decide the goal. Who can confirm whether the ball completely crossed the goal line when my player stood on the goal line and used his shoulder to block it?", said Mr. Nguyen Hong Thanh.
