Viktor Le was fouled dangerously.

In the 45th minute, in a dispute near the touchline, midfielder Viktor Le tried to keep the ball under pressure from a Chinese player. When he fell to the ground, the home team player "played dirty" by kicking the 2003-born midfielder's private parts. Viktor Le was in pain and needed medical attention. The referee did not consider this a foul.

The decision of this man in black caused a lot of controversy. After that, he continued to receive opposition from the away team when he refused to blow the whistle when Quoc Viet was pulled down by a Chinese U22 defender. At the end of the first half, U22 Vietnam was leading 1-0.
