After the match between The Cong Viettel and Cong An Hanoi in the 2nd half, Doan Ngoc Tan said he still felt pain after the collision with Doan Van Hau. The midfielder born in 1994 also revealed that Van Hau took the initiative to meet and apologize.
I am still feeling pain. Doan Van Hau came to apologize to me and said that he did not intentionally make a mistake like that," Ngoc Tan shared.
The ball occurred in the 67th minute, when Doan Ngoc Tan made a cut-in in the midfield area. Van Hau rushed in to compete but the shoelace strongly impacted the shin, near the opponent's ankle. Ngoc Tan could not continue playing and was substituted off the field.
After reviewing the situation through VAR, referee Ngo Duy Lan decided to issue a direct red card to Van Hau. Hanoi Police had to play with one less player for the rest of the match.
For Doan Ngoc Tan, this injury worries many people because he has just returned after a long time. In the past year, this player has repeatedly encountered physical problems such as fractured sternum, requiring surgery and being sidelined.
Coach Velizar Popov also paid attention to his student's condition. He assessed that the red card for Van Hau was reasonable, and worried that Ngoc Tan would not recover in time for the upcoming match at the AFC Champions League Two.
With this rough foul, it is very likely that Doan Van Hau will receive an additional penalty from the Disciplinary Committee of the Vietnam Football Federation.
