As the atmosphere of the game overheated, a war of nerves broke out between the Vietnamese and Indonesian players.
Vietnam and Indonesia played the second leg of the semifinals of the 2022 AFF (ASEAN Football Federation) Mitsubishi Electric Cup held at My Dinh Stadium in Hanoi, Vietnam on the 9th (Korean time). Vietnam won 2-0 and won the final ticket with a total of 1 win and 1 draw in the first and second games.
The match was held with great interest in Korea as Korean coaches Park Hang-seo (Vietnam) and Shin Tae-yong (Indonesia) faced off. 토토
However, both teams showed an overheated atmosphere from the beginning of the first half and clashed several times, drawing attention.
The players of the two teams, who collided once in the 23rd minute of the first half, collided several times afterwards and went to the brink of a scuffle.
In the 33rd minute of the first half, Indonesian defender Asnawi Mangkualam, who plays for the K League 2 Ansan Greeners, made a rough tackle while blocking Vietnamese fullback Doan Van Hau, and the game was stopped for nearly three minutes.
In particular, as the point where the tackle was made was right in front of the Vietnamese coaches, coach Park Hang-seo and other Vietnamese coaches expressed their anger and strongly protested to the referee.
The referee immediately warned Asnawi for committing a foul.
Just four minutes later, the exact opposite happened and Vietnam was also warned. In the 37th minute of the first half, Doan van Howe hit Asnawi in the face with his elbow, who ran to take the ball away, and the referee gave out a yellow card.
Even though it was the largest soccer festival in Southeast Asia, the fact that VAR was not implemented also contributed to the violent atmosphere.
Since there is no VAR, there were players who took violent fouls casually, and conversely, there were players who took a simulation action of falling and rolling over even though there was no collision.
A typical case was when he collapsed to induce a penalty kick in a corner kick situation.
The eyes of the Japanese judges were not enough to control the intense emotions and tricks of the players of the two teams.
