From the link:

These were 3 Thai touchline staff........................................The committee viewed that they are senior staff with long experience and a duty to train the players, so they should have set an example................................. they got involved in the brawls themselves, so the committee issued the maximum penalties.

 

Well I never - the likes of Mikel Arteta and Jurgen Klopp???

Well deserved, that was a total disgrace.

To be honest the Indo player started all the mess. But sadly official cameras didn’t catch it. 
 

But Thai side lost due to many errors committed by the thai players giving Indonesia the win.
