" We are very sad, we did not expect such dangerous situations to happen in top football matches. Every player has a future, hurting an opponent is like hurting yourself, that can ruin a player's career ," Mr. Arya Sinulingga - leader of the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI) told the media of the archipelago country.
On the evening of December 9, the Indonesian team beat Myanmar 1-0 in the opening match of the AFF Cup 2024 thanks to an own goal by Zin Nyi Nyi Aung. The incident happened in the 45+4 minute when Marselino Ferdinan had the ball on the left wing and was about to break through. After being tackled by an opposing player, Marselino Ferdinan fell near the end line. Hein Phyo Win suddenly rushed in and kicked the ball into Marselino Ferdinan's head.
Hein Phyo Win kicked the ball into Marselino Ferdinan's head.
The Indonesian star looked in pain as his teammates angrily surrounded Hein Phyo Win. Other Myanmar players had to intervene. Referee Wong Wai Lun then showed Hein Phyo Win a yellow card.
After the match, Indonesian fans flooded defender Hein Phyo Win's personal Instagram page because the player intentionally kicked the ball into Marselino Ferdinan's head.
PSSI expressed regret over Hein Phyo Win’s actions. Mr. Arya said: “ We hope that we can build a different football atmosphere in Southeast Asia. Therefore, we are disappointed with the rough play of our friends from Myanmar. Do not do that when we become the host.
We think the players should not be injured like that, it is very dangerous. It is their future. This is not a matter of national sentiment, do not do that ."
However, Mr. Arya Sinulingga's statement was still ridiculed by many neutral fans. The Indonesian team is still a team with a famously violent playing style. The frequent victims of many of the brutal attacks from the land of thousands of people are Vietnamese and Thai players.
