(Baonghean.vn) - In the second round of the 2020 National U15 Finals on October 19, despite taking the lead, U15 SLNA was unexpectedly defeated 2-1 by the host U15 Binh Duong due to confusing decisions by the referee team controlling the match.

As a result, Pham Minh Hieu (8) did not make a mistake, bringing the advantage to the yellow team.

Right at the beginning of the second half, U15 SLNA put the ball into the net from a legal header by captain Nguyen Quang Vinh in the 50th minute. There was no fault from the SLNA players, but referee Nguyen Quang Vinh (6) did not recognize the goal because he thought the U15 Binh Duong player had been fouled before.
Frustrated by the referee's confusing decisions, just 3 minutes later, U15 SLNA had to concede an equalizer. Center back Le Cong Toan (4) was there at the right time to finish from the home team's corner kick.
