Incident

At the end of semi-finals match between Indonesia and Malaysia during the preparation for penalty shoot-out, the stadium suddenly faced a power outage.[3] The Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN) explained that it is not caused from their power distribution since the stadium management only use PLN distribution outside the stadium.[4] When the match was resumed and the penalty shoot-out ended with a score 3–2 against the host, dissatisfied Indonesian supporters began to throw bottles and rocks at the Malaysian team after their team failed to qualify to the finals which caused the Malaysian team to run to their dressing room for safety.[5][6] The Football Association of Indonesia (PSSI) then sent a letter of apology to the Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) and promised such incident will never recurred again in the future tournament they host.[7][8] A meeting was then held between Indonesian Sports Minister Imam Nahrawi and Malaysian Sports Minister Syed Saddiq in response towards the incident.[9]
