On the evening of January 11, referee Le Tuan Kiet reported the incident to the police of Ward 15, District 11.

This morning, January 12, referee Le Tuan Kiet was referred by the Forensic Medicine Center, under the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Health, to the Hoa Hao Center for injury assessment. "I am still here waiting for the results. My face and jaw are still in pain, making it difficult to eat and talk," referee Kiet told VnExpress in a voice broken by pain.

In the 20th minute of the match of the 2024 Online Businessman S7 Veterans Tournament at Phu Tho Stadium, Ho Chi Minh City between Cealdon and Quang Ngai Businessman (DNQN), referee Tuan Kiet blew the whistle for a foul by a DNQN player and was suddenly punched hard in the face by player Hong Quang, causing him to be stunned and collapse on the field. After a period of medical care, Mr. Kiet was transferred to the position of table referee, to be replaced by another colleague.

Mr. Kiet then had an X-ray and the results showed swelling, diffuse hematoma under the skin and in the right cheek muscle, and a fracture of the upper right jaw. He was referred to the Ho Chi Minh City Hospital of Odonto-Stomatology for treatment.

The tournament organizers then imposed a fine of 10 million VND on the DNQN team. At the same time, on the afternoon of November 10, the head of the tournament organizers and the captain of the DNQN team met directly with referee Kiet at the Thong Nhat Stadium meeting room to inquire about the incident and send 10 million VND for medical expenses. However, player Hong Quang has yet to meet or call to inquire about or apologize directly to Mr. Kiet.
