Second Division player punches the referee in the face

In the Binh Thuan – Hai Nam Vinh Yen Vinh Phuc match at the 2022 National Second Division Finals on the afternoon of June 8 in Nha Trang, 32 minutes, when Binh Thuan was leading 2-0, Ngo Anh Vu of Binh Thuan had tackle the ball dangerously with the opponent’s player.

Referee Tran Ngoc Nho immediately drew a second yellow card, meaning the red card forced Anh Vu to leave the field. Binh Thuan’s player could not keep his composure, rushed to punch the referee in the face, with insults to this black king.

Anh Vu continued to intend to attack referee Tran Ngoc Nho despite the intervention of his teammates and assistant referee. Then security forces entered the field to control the situation and asked Binh Thuan’s players to leave the field.

This is one of the two matches to be promoted to the First Division next season, so the nature is very tense. VFF General Secretary Le Hoai Anh and VFF Referee Head Duong Van Hien both witnessed Anh Vu’s violent and unsportsmanlike behavior on the field. With violent behavior, Anh Vu will definitely receive a heavy penalty from the VFF Disciplinary Committee.

Surprisingly, after Anh Vu was sent off, Binh Thuan played enthusiastically, upstream to remove 2-2 and put the match into a “gunfight” series on the 11m mark. In the penalty shootout, after 8 rounds of “gunfight”, Binh Thuan defeated Hai Nam Vinh Yen Vinh Phuc 8-7, winning the first ticket to play the 2023 First Division.
