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.http://video.tribunnews.com/view/12639/kenangan-pahit-18-tahun-lalu-laga-thailand-vs-indonesia-insiden-sepak-bola-gajah Kenangan Pahit 18 Tahun Lalu Laga Thailand Vs Indonesia: Insiden Sepak Bola Gajah Ndaruguntur id Tribun News 9 December 2016 10 December 2016 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.Flash Back: AFF Championship 1998 Goal.com https://www.goal.com/en-sg/news/flash-back-aff-championship-1998/m70g3v8rqlkj193t2x553946w 2021-06-22 www.goal.com Ironically in the semi-finals, Indonesia lost to Singapore, while Thailand lost to Vietnam. Singapore would then win the Championship. References Further reading Courteny, Barrie. "Tiger Cup 1998 – Details". RSSSF.
