HAGL striker escapes sentence

Chevaughn Walsh, a foreign striker for HAGL, did not receive an additional penalty for choking a Nam Dinh player in the National Cup qualifiers on May 23.

Walsh strangled Manh Cuong during the match at Thien Truong Stadium on May 23.

In the 45th minute, Walsh fought with two Nam Dinh players and lost the ball. The HAGL striker got angry and choked Tran Manh Cuong. Standing nearby, referee Nguyen Dinh Thai discovered the incident and gave the HAGL striker a yellow card.

On the afternoon of May 26, the Organizing Committee met to review all the matches of the National Cup qualifiers. The situation of Walsh choking Manh Cuong was watched over and over again. However, the Organizing Committee believed that the referee standing close, observing well and issuing a yellow card was enough. The above incident also did not involve serious violence. Therefore, they did not send the file to the VFF Disciplinary Committee. This means that Walsh did not receive an additional penalty.
