Why did the captain of Ho Chi Minh City Club receive a red card? What did the coach of Hai Phong say when it was only a draw?

In the match of round 5 of V-League 2023 - 2024 taking place on the evening of December 9, Ho Chi Minh City Club had a dramatic draw with Hai Phong Club, when they tied with a score of 1-1. Notably, at the end of the match, captain Ngo Tung Quoc of Ho Chi Minh City team received a red card (second yellow card) from referee Hoang Ngoc Ha and had to leave the field.

Specifically, in this situation, referee Ha repeatedly reminded Tung Quoc to quickly execute the throw-in. However, the captain of Ho Chi Minh City Club was so engrossed in reminding his teammates that he did not listen to the referee's urging. Mr. Hoang Ngoc Ha thought that Tung Quoc was wasting time, so he showed him a second yellow card.

Speaking about this situation, Coach Phung Thanh Phuong said: "I think the red card for Tung Quoc was too harsh. In that situation, we had the home field advantage and were trying to attack, so it was not a waste of time. In addition, the coaching staff of Hai Phong Club was also putting pressure."

Ho Chi Minh City Club was very close to victory, when they scored in the 2nd minute but were equalized at the end of the match. Coach Phung Thanh Phuong shared: "I am very regretful that we did not get 3 full points. However, I am satisfied with the way the team played and the spirit. As for the score, for us, getting a point is a success."

In this match, Hai Phong FC dominated the home team. However, the strikers of the port city team were quite unlucky, when they could not take advantage of many good opportunities. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem also expressed regret: "Hai Phong FC deserved to get 3 points in this match, when they played better. If my players had handled the situation better, had scored an early equalizer, it would have been easy to play. We had many good opportunities in the first half but could not take advantage. It was not until the end of the match that we got an equalizer, so there was no time to look for more goals."

Coach Phung Thanh Phuong helped Ho Chi Minh City Club win 4 points in the last 2 matches.

Up to now, Hai Phong FC is ranked 3rd with 8 points. Ho Chi Minh City FC also has 8 points but is ranked 5th because of the inferior goal difference. In round 6, Hai Phong FC will meet Khanh Hoa FC, while Ho Chi Minh City FC will face Thanh Hoa FC.
