Thai men’s national football team goalkeeping coach Sasa Todic made an apology on Thursday afternoon, two days after he was accused of demeaning Vietnam’s head coach Park Hang Seo during a match in the 2022 FIFA World Cup Asian qualifiers in Hanoi.

While post-match handshakes are typically meant as a show of sportsmanship and goodwill, video footage of the event shows Todic making a hand gesture which appears to mock Park’s height. Seconds later, Park stormed toward Todic and both coaches had to be pulled away from the confrontation by their respective coaching staff.
