Using force on the field, Truong Van Thiet (Viettel) was suspended.

At the meeting, Coach Dinh The Nam argued: “In sports competitions, being provoked by opponents is normal. The person being provoked must stay alert, avoid it, and find a way to subdue the opponent with expertise. Truong Van Thiet’s unsportsmanlike behavior, damaging Viettel’s image, is unacceptable.

For now, Thuyet will not be arranged to play in the match against Dong Nai in round 7 of the 2016 National First Division on the afternoon of May 17. If he commits the same offense again, the club's leadership will terminate his contract...". It is known that after the match ended, Van Thiet proactively went to apologize to the Phu Yen team's coaching staff and player Quang Nam.

Truong Van Thiet's act of hitting Quang Nam in the face was obvious. Unfortunately, referee Nguyen Huu Tuan and the fourth referee Nguyen Ngoc Khanh (standing near the scene of the cold beating) after consulting did not use a red card to disqualify Truong Van Thiet.

It is not impossible that by the middle of next week, the disciplinary committee of the Vietnam Football Federation will issue a penalty for the above unsportsmanlike behavior of the Viettel team player.
