Vietnamese fans broke the windows of the bus carrying the Indonesian team.

“Extreme fans threw rocks and broke the windows of the bus carrying the Indonesian team. The doctor and assistant coach were injured. The incident has been reported to the Southeast Asian Football Federation,” the Indonesian Football Federation said.

Immediately after the attack, the Indonesian team's vehicle returned to My Dinh. The Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) immediately arranged for doctors to treat the injuries of two members of the Indonesian team, arranged for a new vehicle, and increased the mobile force to take coach Alfred Riedl and his team back to the hotel.

The car window was shattered.

At My Dinh Stadium, Indonesia opened the scoring in the 54th minute thanks to an own goal by Dinh Dong. 22 minutes later, coach Riedl's team had the advantage of having one more player when goalkeeper Nguyen Manh committed a foul and was sent off by the referee. However, in the final minutes, Van Thanh and Minh Tuan scored consecutively to help Vietnam take the lead 2-1.

The semi-final match was forced into extra time because Indonesia won the first leg with the same score. In the 96th minute, the team from the archipelago equalized 2-2, when Lestusen defeated goalkeeper Ngoc Hai on the penalty spot. Before that, Ngoc Hai was forced to play the role of makeshift goalkeeper when Nguyen Manh was sent off while the Vietnamese team had run out of substitutions.
