KUALA LUMPUR: The FA of Malaysia (FAM) will seek official clarification from FIFA over the change in added time during the Indonesia-Bangladesh match in the FIFA Asean Cup in Jakarta on Thursday.
FAM said it would submit an official request to FIFA over the decision to change the initially indicated two minutes of added time to seven at the Gelora Bung Karno.
The issue has come under scrutiny as Indonesia scored twice in the extended stoppage time to beat Bangladesh 9-2 and overtake Malaysia on goals scored to qualify for the final.
FAM said it considered accurate and consistent management of match time an important element of match officiating and the overall integrity of a competition.
"The matter warrants clarification given the significance of the match in determining the final standings in Group A and the teams advancing to the final," FAM said in a statement on Friday.
