Assistant coach Binh Duong is responsible for refereeing
At the beginning of the second half, when he was leading 0-1, the Binh Duong player passed a long pass into the penalty area of Ha Tinh. Striker Rimario escaped, dribbled past goalkeeper Thanh Tung, about to hit the empty goal when the line referee waved the offside flag. The top scorer of the V-League 2022 was disappointed, raising his hand to show displeasure.
"Reviewing the video, it can be seen that Rimario is not offside, the referee made a mistake," assistant coach Nguyen Thanh Dat said after the match at Ha Tinh Stadium. "We don't blame the referee or anyone, but if at that time Rimario scored a 1-1 equalizer, sometimes the game would be different. After this situation Ha Tinh raised the score to 2-0. Especially like that, we have to attack to find an equalizer, and then it is normal to lose 3-0 or 4-0."
In this match, Binh Duong played well for the first 10 minutes. The away team even nearly opened the scoring from Nguyen Tien Linh's long shot or Thanh Thao's corner kick hit the crossbar. Ha Tinh then regained the game and took the lead in the 25th minute after Diallo's 20-meter strike.
Binh Duong then strained himself to bear the battle. Tien Linh, Vi Hao were all lost in front of the host's defender. In the 68th and 83rd minutes, Diallo and Van Cong respectively scored to set the score 3-0 for Ha Tinh, sinking the visitors to the bottom of the table. "Losing 0-3 is also sad. Currently we are unlucky," said Mr. Dat, adding that captain Tien Linh was very sad because he did not score in recent rounds despite his best efforts.
According to Nguyen Thanh Cong, head coach of Ha Tinh, if Rimario were not caught offside and Binh Duong equalized, the game would be difficult to change. This match, his students won a big victory by exploiting good psychology, before a visiting team was in decline. "We have no opinion on the referee's decisions in this match," said Cong. "The referee's error is not new this season. It is difficult for the Vietnam Football Federation to solve the root of this problem. Resources are needed to train qualified referees to run the game. the game gets better".
With nine points, Ha Tinh reached sixth. Meanwhile, Binh Duong has only three points after seven rounds. This is a disappointing situation for the Prime team, because the squad possesses many quality players such as the top scorer Rimario, striker Tien Linh, Vi Hao ...
After the 7th round, the teams entered the holiday for U22 Vietnam to attend the 32nd SEA Games. When the tournament returned on May 20-21, Ha Tinh was a guest of SLNA, and Binh Duong played at Khanh Hoa Stadium.
