 Clarification from the Garuda Indonesia fans regarding the flare incident during the match against Vietnam during the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup

At the conclusion of the 2022 AFF U-19 Cup match between the Indonesian U-19 National Team and Vietnam, smoke could be seen beginning to fill the Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium in Bekasi.

This occurred as a result of flares or spouts being lit by Indonesian supporters, namely those in the Ultras Garuda Indonesia tribune.

Shin Tae-yong, the head coach of the Indonesian U-19 National Team, acknowledged the effort put out by the crowd to support their team during this game.

After the game, Shin Tae-yong expressed his gratitude to the crowd for their support.

Shin Tae-yong, however, condemned the flare incident that took place at Patriot Candrabhaga Stadium in Bekasi on Saturday, 2/7/2022.

He believes that the flare that suddenly went off diverts his team's attention.

The Indonesian U-19 National Team did have a few mature opportunities during those minutes.

However, no one scored, and as a result, the game finished in a 0-0 draw.

However, the last-minute use of flares and firecrackers distracted our players, according to Shin.
