Controversies

In a group stage match between Thailand and United States, a South Korean referee who judged the match was criticized for awarding a controversial penalty to United States. Phisit, Thailand's director and a vice-president of the Asian Football Confederation, seriously complained about it.[2]

Ghana tried to withdraw from the third place play-off after losing to South Korea in the semi-finals, where two Ghanaian players were sent off with displeasure.[2]
