'Delighted'Trouble began in Sunday's match in the second half when the Indonesian team claimed that Malaysian supporters had shone lasers directly into players' faces, including the captain, at several corner kicks, and the goalkeeper.
The game was halted for eight minutes as Indonesia's players left the pitch.
When play resumed, Malaysia scored three goals in just under 12 minutes.
"I instructed Andi to file an official complaint," Mr Yudhoyono told the official Antara news agency, in a reference to Youth and Sports Minister Andi Mallarangeng.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said he was happy with the result.
"I am so truly delighted with the victory. The team gave a good performance tonight and the whole nation is proud of our team. They need another good performance in Indonesia," he said.
