Why did the captain of Ho Chi Minh City Club receive a red card? What did the coach of Hai Phong say when it only ended in a draw?

In the match of round 5 of V-League 2023 - 2024 taking place on the evening of December 9, Ho Chi Minh City Club had a dramatic draw with Hai Phong Club, when they tied with a score of 1-1. Notably, at the end of the match, captain Ngo Tung Quoc of Ho Chi Minh City team received a red card (second yellow card) from referee Hoang Ngoc Ha and had to leave the field.

Specifically, in this situation, referee Ha repeatedly reminded Tung Quoc to quickly execute the throw-in. However, the captain of Ho Chi Minh City Club was so engrossed in reminding his teammates that he did not listen to the referee's urging. Mr. Hoang Ngoc Ha thought that Tung Quoc was wasting time so he showed him a second yellow card.

Talking about this situation, Coach Phung Thanh Phuong said: "I think the red card for Tung Quoc was too harsh. In that situation, we had home field advantage and were trying to attack, so it was not a matter of wasting time. In addition, the coaching staff of Hai Phong Club was also putting pressure."

Ho Chi Minh City FC was very close to victory, when they scored in the 2nd minute but were equalized at the end of the match. Coach Phung Thanh Phuong shared: "I am very regretful that we did not get the full 3 points. However, I am satisfied with the way the team played and the spirit. As for the score, for us, getting a point is a success."

In this match, Hai Phong FC dominated the home team. However, the strikers of the port city team were quite unlucky, when they could not take advantage of many good opportunities. Coach Chu Dinh Nghiem also expressed regret: "Hai Phong FC deserved to get 3 points in this match, when they played better. If my players had handled the situation better, had scored an early equalizer, it would have been easy to play. We had many good opportunities in the first half but could not take advantage. It was not until the end of the match that we got an equalizer, so there was no time to look for more goals."
