Referee "overtreats" U20 Vietnam

It can be said that the referee team in charge of the match between U20 Vietnam and U20 Qatar did not do a good job. Referee Riskullaev Akhrol showed leniency towards U20 Qatar's fouls. If the referee had been more impartial, U20 Vietnam should have been awarded at least a penalty when striker Nguyen Quoc Viet was clearly fouled in the penalty area at the beginning of the second half. In addition, U20 Qatar could have received a red card after fouls on Khuat Van Khang and Nguyen Van Bac.

Fortunately, midfielder Van Truong scored a great goal to bring a worthy victory to coach Hoang Anh Tuan and his team.

The 2-3 loss of U20 Iran to U20 Australia has pushed the situation of Group B into an unpredictable situation.
