Coach Issara Sritaro of Thailand U.22 explained: "After everything ended, we met the Indonesian U.22 team and apologized to them. All of us, including the players and members involved in the incident, met them, clarified all the issues and shook hands. I think everything is clear and ended here."
Coach Issara Sritaro answers questions from Thai press upon returning home
Regarding the incident, which will be investigated by the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) and the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), creating an ugly image in the history of SEA Games football, coach Issara Sritaro said: "I have reviewed the video recording of the incident. There are things that sparked the incident. I am ready to take full responsibility. However, the incident also needs to be viewed with a general picture of why such an incident happened. There are many perspectives from the incident, I cannot give all the assessments of who is at fault. The young players clearly could not keep calm in such a dramatic environment. In any case, as head coach, I am ready to take full responsibility."
According to Thai press, FAT will certainly punish members of the Thai U.22 team. FAT also issued an apology for the unsightly images that occurred in the final match of the men's football event at the 32nd SEA Games. In addition, the AFC's investigation could also result in Thai football being severely punished in the near future.
Image of the brawl between members of the U.22 Thailand and U.22 Indonesia teams
In the final match of the men's football SEA Games 32, after player Yotsakorn Burapha equalized 2-2 for U.22 Thailand in the 90+7 minute, the players and coaching staff of the "War Elephants" ran to the area of the coaching staff of U.22 Indonesia to celebrate provocatively. This caused a fierce fight between the two sides. After the incident was settled, in extra time when U.22 Indonesia raised the score to 3-2, another fight broke out. This ugly image somewhat affected the final match of the men's football SEA Games 32 when the referee had to issue 7 red cards and 14 yellow cards to punish the players and coaching staff of the two teams.
