Coach Le Huynh Duc praised Van Duc and criticized the referee after losing to SLNA.

During the away match at Hoa Xuan Stadium, although they were behind early on with Rafaelson's goal, SLNA players made a dramatic comeback and won 2-1 with a beautiful double from Phan Van Duc. The "main character" of the match was also praised by the opposing team's coach.

At the post-match press conference, Coach Le Huynh Duc said: “First of all, I congratulate SLNA on their victory with two very beautiful goals. Those were two wonderful goals byPhan Van Duc".

"We were playing well and playing well, but the referee interrupted the match, causing SHB Da Nang players to be frustrated and lose focus. This forced me to make adjustments and substitute players. When Dinh Hoang was absent, we had to find someone to fill in. Midfielder Huy Hung was also not in good form and was very weak. The team was not cohesive and lost a lot of strength, but the spirit and effort of the players are what I appreciate."

"Unfortunately, if we had scored a second goal, we would have played better. The referee overlooked that situation and I will review it. That was a situation where I felt midfielder Dang Anh Tuan was not offside. After this move, our players were frustrated. I planned to bring Duc Chinh in to put pressure and we did that in the second half. If we had finished well, it wouldn't have been so bad."

"The referee is still an eternal story. However, if we lose, we accept it. That's the way Vietnamese football is, we have to accept it, there is no other way. Let the tournament organizers "handle" the referee, it's useless for me to say more." SHB Da Nang coach complained about the referee.

On SLNA side,Coach Ngo Quang Truongshared: “In this match, we won when we were behind very early. Phan Van Duc was our best player. His goals lifted the team's spirits, especially the equalizer 1-1. His two goals said it all.

SHB Da Nang is a very strong team, the proof is that they are leading the rankings. Playing at their Hoa Xuan stadium is not easy. We are very happy with this victory. Regarding the refereeing, the match is over anyway, I should not comment too much. When the referee makes a decision, all players of both teams must accept it.

Among the 14 teams in V.League 2021, only HL Ha Tinh has 1 point and the positions of the teams are only 1 win apart. Our strength is only like that, we can only try our best through each match. We will promote the good aspects, and improve the bad aspects."
