The Indonesian Soccer Association says the national team will walk off the pitch should Malaysian spectators use lasers to blind Indonesian players in the first leg of the Asean Football Federation Cup final in Kuala Lumpur to on Dec. 26.
“If there is a laser we will not continue to play,” Indonesian Soccer Association (PSSI) chairman Nurdin Halid said as quoted by Kompas.com.
Nurdin said he had heard that Vietnam's players had complained about the use of lasers by Malaysian fans in their semifinal match.
Reports said the lasers may have impaired the Vietnam goalkeeper's visibility, leading to Malaysia's first goal.
“We don’t want to suffer the same thing,” Nurdin said.
The second leg of the AFF Cup final will be held on Dec. 29 in Jakarta.
