Being overreacted by Nam Dinh fans, the referee stopped the match for 5 minutes

58 minutes on Hang Day, a controversial situation happened. From the suspension phase of the Nam Dinh player, Coutinho headed the ball to touch Bui Hoang Viet Anh. Referee Le Vu Linh is at a favorable viewing angle. He waved his hand that the ball did not touch the hand of the Hanoi player in the penalty area.

Nam Dinh players reacted, saying that the home team should have received a penalty. In the stands, the fans of the away team reacted wildly. They use uncivilized language, and there are many strange objects thrown on the field.

Before that situation, referee Le Vu Linh paused the match. He talked for a long time with the 4th assistant Nguyen Viet Duan, and also supervised the referee Le Vu Linh.

Referee Le Vu Linh paused for up to 5 minutes to have a discussion with colleagues about the above situation. With the extreme reaction, it is likely that the punishment will be given after this match.

This makes the second half have 7 minutes of injury time. VAR was first applied in V.League in the match between Viettel and Ha Tinh. FIFA recommends that at the time of applying VAR, it should be included in matches that are not competitive for relegation or championship.

In this match, Hanoi won at least 1-0; thereby temporarily rising to the top of the table. They have 29 points like Thanh Hoa but ranked above thanks to more sub-stats.
