Que Ngoc Hai in the foul with Olaha - Photo: XUAN THUY
This is the question that many Binh Duong fans commented sarcastically after the match?
On the evening of June 26, a foul by central defender Que Ngoc Hai in the penalty area caused B.Binh Duong Club to lose 2-3 to host Song Lam Nghe An in the semi-finals of the 2024-2025 National Cup.
At that time, the score was 2-2 in the 90th minute. Just waiting for Hai "Que" to put his hand under his armpit to mark, Olaha immediately fell down in the penalty area, forcing FIFA referee Hoang Ngoc Ha to point to the penalty spot. Olaha successfully kicked the penalty, bringing victory to the Nghe An team.
With his vast experience in the field, no one would have thought that Que Ngoc Hai would commit a foul like a young player! But at the age of 32, it is difficult for the former steel center back of Vietnamese football to maintain his physical strength, speed and football skills that made his name.
This is not surprising, if looking at Que Ngoc Hai's unconvincing performance after 22/26 appearances in V-League 2024-2025.
B.Binh Duong Club has conceded 40 goals after 26 matches, the 4th most among 14 participating teams after Quy Nhon Binh Dinh (43 goals), SHB Da Nang (42 goals) and Hoang Anh Gia Lai (41 goals). This bad result is also partly due to Que Ngoc Hai - the player with the highest transfer fee in the Southeast team at present.
It is Que Ngoc Hai's poor performance that has prevented him from being given the opportunity to join the Vietnamese national team by coach Kim Sang Sik since November 2024 until now.
The most recent was the training session to prepare for the important match with Malaysia in the second match of Group F of the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup last June.
Despite the injuries of two central defenders Bui Hoang Viet Anh and Nguyen Thanh Binh, coach Kim Sang Sik only chose to add Dang Van Toi and promote Pham Ly Duc from the U22 team, instead of thinking about former captain of the Vietnamese national team Que Ngoc Hai.
Returning to the 2024-2025 National Cup semi-final against his hometown team Song Lam Nghe An, Que Ngoc Hai "collapsed" at the most important moment of the match. Therefore, the anger that Binh Duong fans had for him was understandable, when they thought he was showing gratitude to his old team.
But surely Que Ngoc Hai will not be foolish enough to do that! Because if he wins against Song Lam Nghe An and reaches the final, he and B.Binh Duong Club will have a chance to be crowned.
At 32 years old, that could be the last trophy of his career. So surely Que Ngoc Hai would not trade that foul in the penalty area.
So it could only be an accident, and because he was old!
