The final match of SEA Games 32 between U.22 Thailand and U.22 Indonesia brought countless emotions to the audience. U.22 Indonesia won the SEA Games championship for the first time after 32 years of waiting, while U.22 Thailand continued to be disappointed when watching their opponents crowned champions for the third consecutive time.
However, all aspects or statistics about the technical aspects of the 32nd SEA Games final were almost overshadowed by the brawl between the two teams. In the first minutes of the first extra time, after U.22 Indonesia scored a goal to increase the score to 3-2, the two sides rushed at each other and many unsightly actions occurred. Many newspapers in the region even had to use the phrase "the disastrous brawl between the two sides ruined the match" to describe this match.

On the morning of May 17, FAT posted a status to talk about this incident. FAT expressed regret for what happened and deeply apologized to the viewers.
