Nguyen Manh received a red card for hitting an Indonesian player.

The impulsive action of the Vietnamese national team goalkeeper forced the home team to play with 10 men in the second half of the second leg of the AFF Suzuki Cup 2016 semi-final.

In the 75th minute, in a corner kick situation from Indonesia, NgUyen Manh jumped up to argue withBayu Pradana.After falling down, the Vietnamese goalkeeper was pinned down by his opponent, so he got angry and punched back.

The action was very discreet, but still could not escape the eyes of the main referee Fu Ming. Nguyen Manh thentried to justify himself, pointing to his face to say that he was the one who was previously elbowed by the Indonesian player.

However, after consulting with his assistant, the Chinese referee gave Nguyen Manh a red card and sent him off. The score was 1-0 in favor of Indonesia.

Due to the fact that he had run out of substitutions, central defender Que Ngoc Hai was forced to put on his gloves and take on the role of makeshift goalkeeper.

Despite being short-handed, the Vietnamese team played well and scored two goals at the end of the match. However, in extra time, the team conceded a goal from the penalty spot. After two semi-final matches, coach Huu Thang and his team suffered a 3-4 defeat and said goodbye to the AFF Suzuki Cup 2016.
