SLNA and Ho Chi Minh City players almost got into a fight because of violent football play
(Baonghean.vn) – The match between Song Lam Nghe An and Ho Chi Minh City in the 1/8 round of the National Cup at Vinh Stadium took place with low quality due to the rain, but there were many violent moments. The incident led to arguments and almost fights between the two sides.
One of the climax situations that demonstrated this violent match was Sam Ngoc Duc's tackle on Phan Van Duc of SLNA. Immediately, referee Nguyen Trung Kien showed the second yellow card (red card) to the away team's player.

Not only Sam Ngoc Duc, central defender Truong Dinh Luat of Ho Chi Minh City Club also had some bad tackles on SLNA players, causing central defender Que Ngoc Hai to lose his cool.
At the end of the match, Que Ngoc Hai and SLNA head coach had some words with Dinh Luat. Fortunately, players from both teams intervened in time, otherwise the two sides would have “talked” to each other with their hands and feet.

In the press conference room, coach Duc Thang expressed his indignation: “I used to be a player so I cannot accept such malicious tackles, they left the ball to the point that Olaha was bleeding on the knee. Especially Dinh Luat also had challenging words that made Ngoc Hai very upset. In the 2 years I have been the head coach, I have never encouraged my students to play rough football, intentionally destroying the rice pot of their colleagues like that. I think the Organizing Committee and the Disciplinary Board should review the way Ho Chi Minh City played today.

Coach Duc Thang continued to complain: "Not only the former coach Vo Dinh Tan, but I also disagree when Ho Chi Minh City players tackle like that, it is very easy to cause injury. The coaching perspective must also put the Fairplay criterion first, entering the field is to play football. If you are a player, do you think playing football like that helps your level to reach new heights? The new playing style and tactics help Vietnamese football reach new heights, not just playing football to destroy others."
In this match, SLNA received a yellow card due to time-wasting by central defender Que Ngoc Hai. Nguyen Huu Tuan, Huynh Van Thanh, Truong Dinh Luat were the other 3 players of Ho Chi Minh City who received cards from the main referee.
As for the Nghe An team, they are building an attractive playing style but their players are constantly injured. Coach Duc Thang's anger after this match is completely understandable./.
