VFF leaders inform about the future of Coach Park Hang-seo; FIFA referee suspended again

FIFA referee suspended again

Mr. Ngo Duy Lan made a serious mistake for the second time and was not allowed to take charge of the matches in round 19 of V-League 2022.

According to VTC News, referee Ngo Duy Lan was disciplined and was not allowed to work in round 19 of the V-League. Mr. Lan was determined to have made a serious mistake when he blew a penalty for Saigon FC in the match against Thanh Hoa Club at Thong Nhat Stadium. In the 87th minute, Nguyen Huu Son took a free kick and the ball hit Nguyen Trong Hung of Thanh Hoa Club.

Trong Hung stood in the wall and Mr. Lan determined that the visiting team player handled the ball in the penalty area. However, the referee supervisor's report and the subsequent meeting of the Referee Board both determined that Mr. Ngo Duy Lan's decision was wrong. According to the Referee Board, the Thanh Hoa player did swing his arm when jumping to block the free kick, but this was a reflexive arm swing to protect his body, not an intentional handball.

Referee Ngo Duy Lan made another mistake.

This was a serious mistake but did not affect the result of the match because Saigon FC striker Matheus missed the penalty kick, Thanh Hoa team still won.

Mr. Ngo Duy Lan will be "suspended" for 1 round and whether he will be invited to continue his duties or not is still a big question mark. Notably, this is the second time this season that this FIFA referee has made serious mistakes. In round 12, in the match between Hanoi FC and Hoang Anh Gia Lai, Mr. Lan ignored the situation where Do Duy Manh fouled Bruno in the penalty area in the first half.

This time, Hoang Anh Gia Lai's missed penalty affected the match result. This is considered one of the serious mistakes of the referees in black in the first leg. The fact that a referee with professional and ethical reputation like Mr. Ngo Duy Lan continuously made mistakes made fans regretful.

In the next round, Thanh Hoa Club will host Hai Phong Club at home. Meanwhile, Saigon FC continues to have a difficult match at Thong Nhat Stadium against Viettel Club. Coach Phung Thanh Phuong and his team must win to keep their hope of staying in the league.
