| Goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung has to change his outfit before going on the field. |
Specifically, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung of the Hanoi Police Club came out to the field in a white outfit and this color is also the away shirt of Viettel Club. After the two teams stepped out onto the field, the match referee, Mr. Nguyen Viet Duan, discovered this and asked the Hanoi Police goalkeeper to change his uniform before blowing the whistle to start the match.
After the two teams completed the procedures, goalkeeper Bui Tien Dung changed his outfit in the tunnel with a pink training suit.
According to FIFA regulations, goalkeepers are not allowed to play in the same color as the jerseys of players from both teams. It took about 15 minutes for the above problem to be resolved and the match could be played.
This is considered a rare case because before the match starts, the organizers must ask the 2 teams to announce the official match clothes and give priority to the home team to play with traditional colors.
At the end of the first 45 minutes, the host, Hanoi Police, was temporarily led by Viettel with a score of 1-0 after a goal from midfielder Bui Tien Dung in a situation to join the attack.
