Doan Van Hau's attitude to the referee, speaking frankly because he blew the pen in favor of Malaysia?

After Vietnam's 3-1 victory over Malaysia in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, the controversial situation in the 75th minute suddenly became the focus of attention. Many players have voiced implications about this issue.

Most recently, defender Doan Van Hau shared on his personal page a video recording the dispute that led to a penalty for the away team, and expressed doubts about the decision of the main referee. This move quickly attracted the attention of fans, creating many mixed opinions around the accuracy of the penalty blow.

Specifically, the situation occurred when Malaysia was awarded a corner kick in the 75th minute. In the penalty area, Daniel Ting fell to the field after being accompanied by Van Hau and Xuan Son. The referee immediately pointed to the 11m dot, causing Vietnamese players to react because they thought the impact was unclear. Notably, the video shared by Van Hau shows the angle from behind the fans' goal, in which the collision situation between the players is not too strong.

According to this image, both Van Hau and Xuan Son have had contact with Daniel Ting, but the level is considered insignificant. What caught the attention of many people was that the Malaysian player fell down quite quickly, while before that he was still maintaining his balance. Even when Van Hau lost momentum and fell to the field, Daniel Ting still stood firm and even made a jump movement before falling over. This makes many fans question whether the ball is enough grounds to blow a penalty.

However, the referee's decision did not change. Immediately after Daniel Ting fell, he immediately pointed to the 11m dot to the surprise of the Vietnamese players. On the penalty spot, Endrick dos Santos successfully took the shot, shortening the score to 1-3 for Malaysia. This is also the honorary goal of the away team in this match.

Despite having to concede a goal at the end of the game, the Vietnamese team still controlled the game well and won convincingly. Previously, center back Duy Manh opened the score, creating an advantage for the home team. After that, Xuan Son shone with a double, helping the Vietnamese team widen the gap and create a solid foundation for victory. With a result of 3-1, coach Kim Sang-sik closed the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers with an impressive achievement.

Specifically, the Vietnamese team won all 6 matches, scored a total of 17 goals and only conceded 2 times. This achievement helped the team lead Group F, thereby winning a ticket to the 2027 Asian Cup finals held in Saudi Arabia next year. This is considered a positive result, reflecting the stability in the game as well as the depth of the team's forces.

In addition to the overall achievements, the performance of individuals also received attention. Van Hau is one of the players who impressed when he returned to the national team after nearly 3 years of absence due to injury. Despite the controversial situation, the defender born in 1999 still showed solidity in defense and contributed positively to the general play.

After the match, coach Kim Sang-sik praised the players who returned to the team, including Van Hau and Dinh Trong. He emphasized: "With Van Hau and Dinh Trong, they had a good performance when they returned to the national team. I like that there are so many choices in each position. That is a good signal for the Vietnamese team in the upcoming tournaments." This statement shows that the coaching staff appreciates the depth of the squad, and believes in healthy competition between positions.
