" The referee team in charge of the match between Song Lam Nghe An (SLNA) and Nam Dinh made the right decision when recognizing To Van Vu's goal. Fans misunderstood the VAR operating process ," VPF leaders confirmed to VTC News.
In the match between SLNA and Nam Dinh, To Van Vu scored in the 5th minute of extra time. The situation started from Rafaelson's free kick, goalkeeper Nguyen Van Viet flew to block. After a few more touches of the ball, To Van Vu had the opportunity and fired a dangerous long-range shot into SLNA's net.
This situation caused controversy when many viewers thought that Nam Dinh player - Nguyen Van Vy - was offside. However, this is a difficult situation to observe from the audience's perspective. Television images and camera angles of the organizers were not enough to determine whether Nam Dinh FC player was offside or not.
Nam Dinh's controversial goal.
After more than 5 minutes of consulting VAR, referee Nguyen Trung Kien decided to recognize To Van Vu's goal. Many fans were skeptical about the effectiveness of VAR in this case.
Head of the VFF Referee Board - Mr. Dang Thanh Ha said that when the VAR camera angles cannot provide enough data for the VAR room referee, the decision of the main referee on the field will be the final decision. This is also the VAR principle that FIFA has popularized for tournaments to apply.
In this situation, an SLNA player was lying horizontally behind the fence. This is the reason why it is difficult to determine whether the Nam Dinh player is offside or not because the person lying on the field does not appear on the TV camera angle and the image angles can be compared.
Nam Dinh player Van Vi was in a vulnerable position when Rafaelson took the free kick.
" According to the rules of a match with VAR, the referees had time to discuss and check the goal again. The main referee accessed many streams of information, advice and support, not stopping from just one angle of the field as the audience saw on television.
In that situation, the assistant referee had a favorable observation position and did not raise the flag to signal offside. According to the regulations of a match with VAR, the referees had time to discuss and re-check the goal. Mr. Nguyen Trung Kien made the final decision to recognize the goal as valid after discussing with the VAR referee ," the VPF leader explained.
On the home team SLNA side, head coach Phan Nhu Thuat said that VAR was created to bring fairness and support referees to make more accurate decisions. Therefore, this coach has no opinion on the controversial situation and he believes in the referees.
