Final incident

In the 69th minute of the final between Bangladesh Red and Korea University, Korean players confronted Indian referee Sagar Sen, demanding a penalty for a perceived foul in the penalty box by Imtiaz Sultan Johnny on Huh Ki-tae. When Sen showed a red card to Korean captain Song Ju-seok for his aggressive confrontation, tensions escalated as the players violently pursued the referee once again. The match had to be halted for 11 minutes due to the chaos.^[2]
