The referee penalized the wrong Korean U23 player
Minute 78, a Korean U23 player fouled Van Tung in a sensitive position. The referee Ahmad Alali immediately cut the whistle for Vietnam U23 to enjoy a free kick.
Then, referee Alali showed the yellow card to defender No. 4 Lee Sang-min
Lee Sang-min signs to agree with the referee’s penalty. At this point, referee Alali has not discovered his mistake
The Kuwaiti referee determined the free kick of Vietnam U23 close to the 16m50 line. After checking VAR (video assistant referee), his decision was evaluated correctly
While the players of both teams were arranging the free kick strategy, the referee continued to receive advice from VAR
At this time, the referee Alali realized that he had drawn the wrong card for the Korean U23 player. He immediately waved his hand to change his mind
Instead of giving Lee Sang-min a yellow card, referee Alali showed a second yellow card for Lee Jin-yong, which means a red card.
Defender number 17 was stunned by the decision. Before that, he tried to go far away from the foul area so that the referee would not notice. Without VAR, it is likely that the referee made the wrong decision and U23 Vietnam did not enjoy the advantage.
Before that, Lee Jin-yong had to receive a yellow card in the 29th minute when he entered the ball dangerously with Ly Cong Hoang Anh
This situation caused the players of both teams to have a small collision but the referee promptly intervened
Lee Jin-yong’s red card was the turning point of the game. U23 Vietnam made good use of the advantage to score the equalizer in the 83rd minute by Vu Tien Long. This result makes it impossible for Group C to finish until the last match on June 8
