Hundreds of thousands of football fans were tricked into watching an old Vietnam-Indonesia football match on YouTube, instead of the actual AFF Cup semifinal on Monday.

 

"When my neighbors screamed ‘Goal!’ but my computer kept showing the score at 0-0, I realized I was watching the wrong match," said Ha Van Quyet from Hanoi. Quyet wanted to watch the Vietnam-Indonesia semifinal match on Monday, but when he went on YouTube, he stumbled upon a match from SEA Games 31 in May.

 

"Both the title and the thumbnail said it was the latest match," he said. "The video was from a reputable channel, which is why I watched it."
