被FIFA數度警告，但是球迷依舊沒有任何收手
馬來西亞影響嚴重的多，整場比賽1分領先優勢的情況下，在比賽快終結前的短短4分鐘，被接連攻破2球，遭逆殺，馬來西亞球迷賽后發生了騷亂，不斷扔進球場煙火爆炸物，將球場演變成了戰場
兩支球隊可能都還面臨很大的麻煩
體育賽本就有勝有負，大家要理性看待輸贏呀
這樣缺乏冷靜的做法不能換來什麼，反而會連累到自己支持的球隊
當年的中華職棒也發生過類似事件 但是幸好是自家賽事，沒有成為國際笑柄
FIFA Investigating Hong Kong Over Chinese National Anthem Jeers
FIFA is investigating an incident where Hong Kong fans jeered the Chinese national anthem before a World Cup qualifier.
Hong Kong: FIFA said it was investigating an incident where Hong Kong fans jeered the Chinese national anthem before a World Cup qualifier.
Fans in the southern Chinese city booed the "March of the Volunteers" -- the anthem which they share with China before their home match with Qatar which they lost 3-2 on Tuesday.
FIFA, world football's governing body, had previously issued a warning to the Hong Kong Football Association (HKFA) over future conduct of fans after the anthem had been booed at two other home games earlier this year.
Last year's "Umbrella Movement" mass pro-democracy protests have soured attitudes in the semi-autonomous territory towards Chinese authorities.
"We are in the process of gathering all relevant information in order to be in a position to evaluate further steps, if any," a FIFA spokesperson told AFP.
The Hong Kong Football Association had sought to play down the jeering and had said it would be "disappointed" if FIFA punished them over the incident.
"I don't know how FIFA will interpret what happened," HKFA chief executive officer Mark Sutcliffe had told AFP Wednesday.
"In view of the steps the HKFA had taken to encourage people to respect the anthem and what happened on the night, I would be disappointed if FIFA placed any further sanctions," Sutcliffe said.

Possible FIFA sanctions could include having to play the next home qualifier, which would be against China in November, behind closed doors. (Malaysia Football Association Faces Punishment After Fan Riot Abandons Game)
"We will just have to wait and see," said Sutcliffe, who had on Monday appealed to fans to not "use the match as a means of making a political statement."
A promotional poster used by The China Football Association in June described Hong Kong's team to be "black skinned, white skinned and yellow skinned", sparking anger among football fans in the city.
Fans, who shouted "we are Hong Kong" during the Tuesday match, went wild as their team scored two late goals after trailing 3-0, but were unable to find the equaliser.
Hong Kong's next qualifier is away to Bhutan in October before the rematch with China in November. The two sides played out a 0-0 draw in Shenzhen just across the border from Hong Kong, last week.
The second round of Asian qualifying for Russia 2018, which finishes in March, features 39 teams and also doubles up as qualifying for the 2019 Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates.
Malaysia Football Association Faces Punishment After Fans Riot Abandons Game
Malaysia's Football Body (FMA) could face possible punishment after flare-throwing fans forced the abandonment of a World Cup qualifier in Kuala Lumpur.

The embattled Football Association of Malaysia (FAM), under heavy fire since last week's record 10-0 defeat to UAE, said it was "awaiting the decision of FIFA" after Tuesday's incident. (Malaysia Coach Quits After 10-0 Humiliation)
Militant fans angry at last week's 10-0 humiliation in UAE fired flares billowing orange smoke at Shah Alam Stadium as Malaysia trailed Saudi Arabia 2-1 in the final minutes late on Tuesday.
Players and officials hurried from the field and Saudi fans ran from the stands as flares flew around the stadium. Eleven people were arrested but no one was reported injured.
Asian Football Confederation (AFC) president Shaikh Salman bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa said the regional body was "extremely concerned" and would support any investigation by world authority FIFA.
"The AFC is extremely disappointed with the events which took place on Tuesday and we stress that we take such matters very seriously," he said in a statement.
"This sort of behaviour is deplored by all those who seek to protect the best interests of football in Asia," the Bahraini added.
Malaysia's football body has been strongly criticised by both supporters and the government after a dire run of results culminated in last week's 10-0 loss.
Malaysia's worst-ever defeat followed an earlier 1-1 draw in qualifying at home against lowly East Timor and a 6-0 loss to Palestine.
"FAM views the issue of security as a serious matter, especially the safety of spectators, players and officials in the stadium," an FAM statement said.
Tuesday's conflagration was blamed on the "Ultras Malaya" group of hardcore supporters, who accuse the FAM of incompetence and had threatened to disrupt the match.

"I am truly disappointed by the fans' behaviour," said Ong Kim Swee, who came in as stand-in coach after the UAE debacle cost former handler Dollah Salleh his job.
"While the fans' support is important for any team, what they did last night has damaged the image of Malaysia. Already the image of Malaysian football is suffering."
Malaysian football has been damaged by a rising hooliganism problem along with a steady flow of match-fixing scandals in the domestic leagues.
Police fired tear gas to disperse rioting fans, arresting 25 people, after a Malaysia FA Cup semi-final in May, and last December, five Malaysia supporters were arrested for attacking Vietnamese fans during a heated Suzuki Cup semi-final.
On Wednesday, officials wondered how flares and fireworks were allowed into the stadium despite a heavy security cordon involving hundreds of personnel.
"I am dumbfounded, as despite the tight security outside and inside the stadium fans still smuggled banned items," FAM deputy president Mokhtar Ahmad was quoted saying by the New Straits Times.
"There were only 10,000 fans in the stadium but yet the security could not control them," he added, calling on police to explain.
But Malaysian sports minister Khairy Jamaluddin, who even talked of suspending the FAM after the 10-0 loss, again pointed the finger at the football body tweeted about the incident.
FAM lost control of their own stadium. Fans throwing flares were wrong. Both at fault tonight.

FAM president Tengku Abdullah Ahmad Shah had said on Monday he would "step down in stages" over the 10-0 drubbing.
FIFA is yet to comment on Tuesday's events.
