Bad foul

In the Facebook post about the incident, viewers were outraged by the "foul" and called for the player to be banned.

However, if you watched the clip further, the Malaysian player went back to check if her opponent was okay.

The commentator also attributed the "accident" to "both players running into each other, (and) not watching each other".

There was no foul issued by the referee as well.

The Games will conclude on Aug. 30.
