Why was Van Quyet suspended after the win against Ninh Binh?

Striker Van Quyet will miss round 21 of the V-League 2025-2026 when Hanoi FC hosts Da Nang, but not because of his previous statement that "Ninh Binh has three Hoang Ducs".

Nguyen Van Quyet was suspended for round 21 after accumulating three yellow cards. According to regulations, a player who receives three yellow cards in different matches must miss the next round.

Hanoi FC's captain received his third yellow card in the 3-2 victory against Ninh Binh in Round 20 on April 24th. Van Quyet received the yellow card in the 57th minute for fouling Dung Quang Nho.

Previously, he received two yellow cards in the 2-1 win against Hanoi Police FC and the 3-0 win against Hong Linh Ha Tinh . After 20 rounds, Van Quyet has only received three yellow cards and no red cards.

Van Quyet attracted attention after the match in which he received his third yellow card. He rarely gives post-match comments, but before the victory against Ninh Binh, the Hanoi FC captain was very emotional.

"If they keep playing long balls to foreign players, Ninh Binh FC would be in the same situation even with three Hoang Ducs," Van Quyet said. He also emphasized that the two goals conceded were due to Hanoi FC creating opportunities for the opposing team to score.

Van Quyet's statement was met with mixed reactions at a time when Hanoi and Ninh Binh were competing for a top 3 spot. Hanoi had 36 points and were only 1 point behind their direct rival with 6 rounds remaining.

The Hanoi FC captain's statement was not only considered arrogant but also felt like "rubbing salt" into Ninh Binh's wounds after their defeat. Furthermore, in round 21, Ninh Binh had to face second-placed The Cong - Viettel.

If Hoang Duc doesn't "hold his ground" after this round, Hanoi FC will naturally seize the opportunity. Hanoi only has to face their "brother" team, Da Nang FC, the second-to-last team, currently battling to avoid relegation.

With Van Quyet suspended for the match against Da Nang, could Hanoi FC secure 3 points and hope Ninh Binh slips up? The drama of round 21 lies in the potential changes to the top 3 positions.

Besides their captain's absence, Hanoi FC will also be without center-back Nguyen Thanh Chung due to a red card. The match between Hanoi FC and Da Nang FC will take place at 7:15 PM on May 1st at Hang Day Stadium.
