U23 Malaysia was penalized, red card: How did the head of the VFF referee Duong Van Hien explain?

“U23 Malaysia got a red card, the penalty is right”

Minute 45 + 1 match between U23 Vietnam and U23 Malaysia tonight, when the score was 1-0 in favor of U23 Vietnam, Dung Quang Nho had a phase to penetrate the penalty area, turn the ball to eliminate defender Hairiey ( No. 12 – U23 Malaysia) but could not finish in time. No. 14 Zikri broke the ball right in front of Quang Nho’s shoe.

When many people regretfully think of a corner, VAR comes in. Referee Perera, after about 5 minutes of talking with the VAR team, directly came out to see the screen.

In the end, he decided to give Vietnam U23 a penalty and draw a red card to directly disqualify Hairiey (No. 12 – U23 Malaysia).

The Malaysian U23 player reacted when he said that Hairiey let the ball touch his hand in a falling, passive position and under the new law, he was not penalized (?!).

Regarding this situation, talking to Dan Viet, VFF referee Duong Van Hien said: “This situation in my opinion is a penalty. The Malaysian U23 player let the ball touch his hand in a position where his hand was not used to prop up. body.

His arms widen his body, blocking the ball. The referee judged that this was a situation where a clear goal was prevented, so it was correct to blow the penalty and show the red card.”

With the referee’s decision, U23 Vietnam had a goal to make it 2-0 right before the break.
