" I have nothing to say about the referee's decision to disallow Xuan Son's goal," coach Kim Sang-sik said at a press conference after Vietnam's 2-0 win over Singapore. When the referee disallowed Xuan Son's goal, the Korean coach was very angry and was given a yellow card for his reaction.
"Although I regret Xuan Son's missed goal, I think we need to respect the referee's decision. Even though the referee's decisions were not as expected, the players still maintained their determination to the end to get a good result ," Mr. Kim continued.
Vietnam 2-0 Singapore.
In the 83rd minute, controversy arose when Nguyen Xuan Son's superb goal was disallowed. After 5 minutes of consulting VAR and reviewing the video, the referee determined that the ball had touched the Vietnamese striker's hand. Before that, Xuan Son had an impressive press and an unstoppable shot.
Coach Kim Sang-sik did not want to comment on the referee.
" I accept the referee's decision. Vietnam and Singapore gave their best in this match. Both teams faced many difficulties. Now is the time for us to prepare and be careful for the return match. The Vietnamese team did not concede a goal and I am satisfied.
Singapore is very strong when playing counter-attacks and the Vietnamese team had a hard time stopping their opponents. Regarding Dinh Trieu, he did not make any mistakes and is improving. He worked very well today, coach Lee Won-jae helped the goalkeepers a lot ," the Korean coach added.
Similar to the match against the Philippines on artificial turf, the Vietnamese team played cautiously and prioritized solidity. Singapore had 67% ball possession but the home team did not create any dangerous attacks in the first half.
According to coach Kim Sang-sik, the Vietnamese team played well and he was satisfied with the performance of his players. However, the Vietnamese team needs to focus on the return match at Viet Tri Stadium on December 29.
