Incidents
After Malaysia's semi-final home leg against Vietnam, goalkeeper Bùi Tấn Trường stated that he was targeted with green laser pointers from the Malaysian fans when he would prepare for goal kicks and when saving the ball, which caused him to turn his head away.[13] During the final, Malaysia's fans again targeted the opposition players with green laser pointers. The first leg, also at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil, was stopped for eight minutes starting in the 53rd minute when the Indonesian players walked off in protest and complained to referee Masaaki Toma about the laser lights.[14][15] Indonesia eventually lost the match 3–0 with the first goal being scored right after play was resumed.[16]The return-leg final in Jakarta saw Indonesian fans retaliating by pointing green laser lights towards Malaysian goalkeeper Khairul Fahmi Che Mat's face. The keeper, along with his team mates ignored the lights without any complaint.[17][18][19][20]
