Hanoi Police Club 4-4 Quang Nam

Coach Van Sy Son disagreed with the referee’s decisions in the match between Hanoi Police Club and Quang Nam. The coach from Nghe An reacted strongly, especially when the away team conceded a goal in the last minute of extra time. Coach Van Sy Son picked up a water bottle and slammed it on the ground.

In the press conference after the match, the head coach of Quang Nam criticized the referee.

Mr. Van Sy Son said: "VAR must give the most accurate assessment of the goal or the penalty card. This is a foul situation. To be fair, I do not respect this referee. We had previously made a complaint in the match against Song Lam Nghe An, but it seems that the head of the referee committee did not hear it .

I am very upset with the referee today. We are trying to create new vitality because we have accepted to pursue the game. However, if the referee problem continues like this, football will go downhill."
