Other incidents also occurred soon after Malaysia's semi-final home leg against Vietnam, when Vietnamese goalkeeperBùi Tấn Trường stated that he was targeted with green laser pointers from the Malaysian fans when he prepared forgoal kicks and when saving the ball, which caused him to turn his head away.[15] During the final, Malaysia's fans again targeted the opposition players with green laser pointers. The first leg, also at theBukit Jalil National Stadium, was stopped for eight minutes starting in the 53rd minute when the Indonesian players walked off in protest and complained to refereeMasaaki Toma about the laser lights.[16][17] Malaysia scored their first goal right after play was resumed.[18] The return-leg final inJakarta saw Indonesian fans also pointing green laser lights again towards Malaysian goalkeeperKhairul Fahmi Che Mat.[19][20][21][22]
