How did VAR expose the Korean U23 player’s cheating?
U23 Vietnam excellently held U23 Korea with a score of 1-1 in the second match of Group C U23 Asia Finals 2022. The only goal of U23 Vietnam was scored by Vu Tien Long in the 83rd minute. However, almost this goal would not have happened if VAR did not promptly detect the fraud of the Korean U23 players.
Player number 4 happily received a yellow card from the referee.
Specifically, the situation took place in the 78th minute. The Kuwaiti referee showed the yellow card to No. 4 Lee Sang-min because he determined that it was the one who fouled striker Nguyen Van Tung near the penalty area. Lee Sang-min happily received the ticket without any reaction despite the fact that he was not the one who committed the foul.
Meanwhile, the person who fouled Van Tung was Lee Jin-yong wearing the number 17 shirt. Knowing he had received a yellow card in the first half, he actively kept away from the referee’s sight. The king in black made a mistake in this situation.
The referee gave a red card to number 17 after talking with the VAR room.
The U23 Vietnamese players also did not discover this. They focused on organizing the free kick without remembering the number 17 had received a yellow card before. Usually, a player who remembers an opponent’s previous yellow card will pressure the referee to issue an additional yellow card.
Fortunately, VAR promptly discovered the error of referee Alali as well as the fraud of the Korean U23 players. After discussing with the VAR room, the referee called the number 4 and removed the yellow card for this player. He looked for Lee Jin-yong and pulled out a yellow card and a red card in the back pocket of his pants.
No. 17 received a yellow card in the first half for a foul on Hoang Anh.
At this time, player number 17 was officially sent off. In short, Korea U23 could have played with 11 people on the field if VAR didn’t come in. At that time, U23 Vietnam will face many difficulties in scoring the opponent in the little time left.
In the 28th minute, Lee Jin-yong received the first yellow card after entering the ball dangerously with midfielder Ly Cong Hoang Anh. Hoang Anh was in pain after this ball and had to ask for the help of the medical team.
