Controversy
This tournament was marred by unsportsmanlike conduct in a match between Thailand and Indonesia during the group stage.
Indonesia was already assured of qualification for the semi-finals, while Thailand would also advance if they did not lose and the Philippines did not lose to Myanmar by enough for Myanmar to steal the runners up spot. However, both teams also knew that the winners of the match would face hosts Vietnam in the semi-finals, while the losing team would face surprise group winners Singapore, who were perceived to be easier opposition, and would also avoid the inconvenience of moving their team's training base from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi for the semi-finals.
The first half saw little action, with both teams barely making any attempt to score. During the second half both teams managed to score, resulting in a 2–2 score after 90 minutes: during injury time and despite two Thai attackers attempting to stop him, Indonesian defender Mursyid Effendi deliberately scored an own goal, thus handing Thailand a 3–2 victory. FIFA subsequently fined both teams $40,000 for "violating the spirit of the game", while Mursyid was banned from domestic football for one year and from international football for life.
Ironically in the semi-finals, Indonesia lost to Singapore, while Thailand lost to Vietnam. Singapore would then win the Championship.
