PHNOM PENH : Thai football chiefs apologised on Wednesday and promised"severe punishments" for wrongdoers after brawls marred the South East Asia Games soccer final against Indonesia in Cambodia.

Indonesia coach Indra Sjafri was in no mood to hold grudges after leading his country to the SEA Games gold medal for the first time since 1991, a feat celebrated by President Joko Widodo."Let there not be blame on one another. This was a marvellous final."
