CAHN and Hong Linh Ha Tinh players shocked as VAR disallows goal in 36th minute

In the V.League match between CAHN and Hong Linh Ha Tinh held at the home ground of the home team, referee Nguyen Manh Hai made the decision to disallow the goal of Hong Linh Ha Tinh in the 36th minute after receiving information from the VAR team. Players Trong Hoang of the visiting team and Charles Atshimene also showed astonishment when they learned the result after watching the slow-motion video. According to information released through Tuoi Tre newspaper, this decision was made because Daniel Floro da Silva in an offside position prevented Văn Hậu from dropping back to block the shot. The Hong Linh Ha Tinh player was sent off due to interfering with play according to law 11. Fans in the stands also did not understand why the goal was disallowed even though player Trong Hoang and Charles Atshimene were in the field when receiving the ball. Analysis from sources shows this is a typical case of offside law interpretation in Vietnam. The VAR team carefully checked through multiple camera angles to determine the position of Daniel Floro da Silva in the goal minute. The decision was made after the on-field referee reviewed and found that this offside player had obstructed the opponent's access to the ball. Văn Hậu is the left-back of CAHN and a national team mainstay so this incident drew extra attention from the media. Trong Hoang is the midfielder and mainstay of Hong Linh Ha Tinh with many years of experience so his direct involvement caused him to be astonished. Charles Atshimene is also an foreign player of the visiting team and received information after the match to understand the decision clearly. This article is based on analysis from former referee to clarify the incident. FIFA Law 11 clearly states that an offside player who obstructs an opponent's ability to play the ball commits an offence even if not touching the ball. This decision complies with that principle.
