Can’t Handle Losing! Vietnamese Player Punches and Kicks Bai Helamu

In the early hours, the U23 Asian Cup semifinals saw China defeat Vietnam 3-0. At the end of the match, after China scored, Bai Helamu retrieved the ball without celebrating. A Vietnamese player elbowed him to the ground, and another kicked him deliberately. The on-site footage clearly shows this was intentional retaliation. The referee issued a red card to Vietnam’s No.3 player. Trailing badly, the Vietnamese players lost control, showing unsportsmanlike behavior.
