"Strongly condemn the actions of Thailand and Indonesia turning football into muay and pencak silat. The gold medal should be awarded to U22 Vietnam," a fan humorously commented on social media.
Many others also had similar comments on football forums on Facebook when witnessing the chaotic match at SEA Games 32 between U22 Thailand and U22 Indonesia: "Fighting, many red cards, this match should be canceled and the gold medal awarded to U22 Vietnam ", "I propose to cancel the final match, award the gold medal to Vietnam even though it is not worthy ", " The organizing committee should consider stripping the medals of U22 Indonesia and U22 Thailand. The gold medal will be awarded to the third-placed team ", a fan humorously commented on social media while watching the final match.
Of course, these are just funny comments from neutral fans watching the match. The organizers certainly cannot cancel the final match results to let U22 Vietnam receive the gold medal.

Many fans also "advised" the organizing committee to take another approach. Men's football was not the only sport at the 32nd SEA Games that had fierce disputes in the final match. In pencak silat, the Vietnamese and Indonesian teams clashed and both complained about the gold medal. In the end, the organizing committee decided to award gold medals to both teams.
The melee in the men's football final of the 32nd SEA Games became the most discussed topic on social media last night. Besides the outraged views, neutral fans also thought that this was an interesting detail that made the match more memorable.
“Watching football is so funny. I think our Vietnamese team is very gentle. What good moral qualities,” commented a Vietnamese fan.
“I think the two teams should compete for the martial arts medal. It would be more appropriate to give the football gold medal to U22 Vietnam,” another comment appeared on the post about the final match.

The SEA Games 32 gold medal was awarded to U22 Indonesia when this team defeated U22 Thailand 5-2 in the final match. However, the highlight of the match was the scuffle and fight between the two teams. The referee had to show 7 red cards to many members of both teams.
An Indonesian fan's social media account humorously joked about the image of the two teams receiving their medals: "Vietnam U22s, please help and stop any trouble if it happens." During the award ceremony, Thailand U22 and Indonesia U22 stood next to each other on the podium to receive their medals, but there was no fighting or tension.
