After Vietnam National Team’s loss to Indonesia National Team, many Vietnamese fans aggressively searched for midfielder Nguyen Thanh Binh’s personal page. The cause came from a pulling phase that led to a penalty in the 41st minute by a player on Viettel’s staff. From a long pass from the opponent, Nguyen Thanh Binh did not compete well and clumsily committed the foul of pulling Rafael Struick’s shirt in the restricted area. The referee was standing nearby so he decided to blow a penalty.
After 1 minute of listening to the VAR team’s advice, the referee upheld the decision to penalize 11 meters. Captain Asnawi easily deceived goalkeeper Filip Nguyen to open the score, which was also the only goal of the match.
