The Viet Nam Football Federation (VFF) decided recently to only give one demerit point to the SLNA football instead of three points, as was ruled on June 2 at court in Vinh City.

This means the SLNA is barred from competing in three more matches.
Some people feel that the violence at Vinh Stadium was a consequence of the VFF lessening the punishment for a sImHar disturbance by The Cong earlier In the season. |
