Vietnamese outfit Hanoi FC suffered a 6-2 defeat against Ceres Negros last night, but the scoreline was not the only highlight of the game.<\/p>\n
Hanoi found themselves trailing 3-1 by the hour mark and things went from bad to worse for the Vietnamese side when\u00a0Hoang Vu Samson was shown a direct red card for headbutting a Ceres player.<\/p>\n
The Vietnamese striker explained after the match that he was racially abused by the opposition, and apologised to fans for his actions.<\/p>\n
“I was disappointed after receiving the red card, it made the situation harder for my teammates,” Samson said in the post-match interview.<\/p>\n
“Player #4 of Ceres Negros used racially offensive languages to me after defending a free kick. I came to talk to him and he continued with the foul language.”<\/p>\n
“I barely made any contact with him but he was already lying on the ground. The referee sent me off because he could only see the situation from a limited angle,” Samson explained.<\/p>\n
“I admitted I let my temper get the better of me. I can only apologize for what I did and hope the fans can forgive me.”<\/p>\n
Hanoi FC are currently second in Group G with 8 points after 5 matches and could still proceed\u00a0to the zonal semi-finals.<\/p>\n
The Vietnamese side would need to beat Felda United in the last group stage match on May 3 and hope results elsewhere go their way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
