Dinh Bac kicked the ball away when a penalty kick was contested.

On the evening of May 17th, Nguyen Dinh Bac and Alan Grafite caused controversy during CAHN's 2-0 victory over Thanh Hoa.

In the 86th minute at Hang Day Stadium, with the match deadlocked, Dinh Bac made a breakthrough run into the penalty area and was fouled. After consulting VAR, the referee awarded CAHN a penalty.

However, after the ball was placed at the penalty spot, something unexpected happened. Dinh Bac stood holding the ball, waiting to take the penalty. But Alan Grafite immediately approached, requesting to take the shot as assigned by the coaching staff.

During the exchange, Dinh Bac kicked the ball away and left his position. The atmosphere on the field became tense for a few minutes as the CAHN team had to quickly handle the situation.

Alan was designated to take penalties before the match. Meanwhile, Dinh Bac had recently taken over the role of penalty taker when Alan was injured. Therefore, the overlapping of duties led to misunderstandings on the field.

Ultimately, the ball was passed back to Alan. The Brazilian striker successfully converted the penalty in the 88th minute, opening the scoring for CAHN. This goal became a turning point, helping the police team relieve pressure and completely control the remainder of the match.

Following the argument, Dinh Bac quickly took the initiative to celebrate with Alan. However, it's unfortunate that Dinh Bac's consecutive scoring streak couldn't be extended to seven matches.

In the end, CAHN won 2-0, officially clinching the V-League 2025/26 title three rounds early.
