Ho Chi Minh City escaped defeat thanks to a last-minute penalty in the V-League

The 80th minute penalty came after referee Vu Nguyen Vu corrected the decision. Victor Mansaray's shot touches Adriano Schmidt's hand. The referee initially only gave Ho Chi Minh City a free kick for the fence. But then, Ho Chi Minh City players reacted strongly. Mr. Vu ran to the touchline to listen to advice from his assistant and give the homeowner a penalty, when he determined that Schmidt let the ball touch his hand in the penalty area.

From a distance of 11m, Hoang Vu Samson fixed the score to draw 1-1, after defeating Tran Dinh Minh Hoang - goalkeeper replaced Dang Van Lam with an injury.

Before this round, Ho Chi Minh City lost at home at the V-League 2023. That affected the confidence of Vu Tien Thanh's students. Binh Dinh is also not in a good psychological state, having just lost to Thanh Hoa 0-1 at home in the previous round and broke the winning streak.

The first 45 minutes, therefore, witnessed very few scoring opportunities. The standout situation in the first half was Rafaelson's denied goal in the 24th minute, when the referee thought that Duc Chinh had fouled a Ho Chi Minh player.
