Binh Phuoc coaching staff argued with the referee

“ I reviewed the situation where the referee blew the offside flag. I was quite far away on the field so I couldn’t see clearly. But my action at that time was the climax, the last straw after a series of problems that had occurred. And I also affirm that I had no influence on the referee, ” coach Le Thanh Xuan told VTC News after the match.

Commenting on this situation, a former V-League referee shared: " Football has both right and wrong. Those involved must respect the rules of the game. You cannot just rush onto the field to attack the referee like that because you are upset ."
