The regional 1998 ASEAN Football Championship saw the group stage match between Thailand and Indonesia with both teams had already qualified for semi-finals but were also aware that the winner would have to face hosts Vietnam. Indonesian defender Mursyid Effendi deliberately kicked the ball into the Indonesian's own goal as a Thai attacker ran towards the ball. FIFA fined both teams $40,000 for "violating the spirit of the game", while Effendi was banned from international football for a lifetime. Indonesia then lost to Singapore in the semi-finals.
