Tang Tien may have to pay for Duy Manh's treatment?

The organizing committee of V-League 2018 has sent the case file of Tang Tien to the Disciplinary Board of the Vietnam Football Federation. However, the decision to impose a penalty on the HAGL defender has not been approved due to lack ofDuy Manh's medical certificate.

"The Disciplinary Board temporarily suspends Tang Tien for one match, not allowing him to play in the National Cup on the afternoon of April 9. After the trial, the suspension will be deducted," Head of the VFF Disciplinary Board Nguyen Hai Huong shared withVnExpress."We must have a doctor's conclusion about Duy Manh's condition before deciding how many matches the HAGL player will be punished for or how to compensate for treatment costs."

The collision occurred in the first minute of injury time in the third round of the match between Hanoi and HAGL on the afternoon of April 5. Tang Tien made a dangerous tackle, kicking Duy Manh in the knee, leading to a direct red card. Playing with one less player, his team conceded four more goals and ultimately lost 0-5. Before the match ended, HAGL Club owner Doan Nguyen Duc issued an internal penalty, suspending the home team's central defender until the end of the first phase.

According to coach Chu Dinh Nghiem of Hanoi Club,Duy Manh was taken for a check-up and luckily did not suffer any serious injuries. "He will only have to rest for about a week," he added..

In the history of Vietnamese football, there has been a case where a player had to pay compensation for a tackle that injured an opponent. That was center back Que Ngoc Hai (SLNA), with the amount of money he had to pay Anh Khoa (Da Nang) after the incident in V-League 2015.
