JAKARTA - A surprising scene occurred in the Ligue 1 match between Toolouse and Montpellier, last weekend. There was someone who then threw tear gas into the field during the match.

The tear oil is believed to have been thrown by spectators who were present at the stadium. However, the exact culprit is not yet known.

This incident occurred in the second half. The tear gas that entered the field made the players unable to breathe and scratched their eyes in the 57th minute.

The game had to be stopped until the gas was completely cleaned. This process lasted about 15 minutes.

At the time of the incident, the host Toolouse was already 4-1 up at that time. The visitors then reduced the gap to 4-2 when the match continued.

This incident in France was then equated with The Sun media with the tragic events that occurred in Kanjuruhan, Malang, Indonesia.

The deadly tragedy that occurred after the Arema FC match against Persebaya Surabaya claimed more than 100 lives.

This incident began with a field invasion carried out by the audience. The police also tried to disperse the crowd using sticks and tear gas.

As a result, panic broke out. Spectators flocked to try to get out of the stadium.

The victim was reported to have died from running out of oxygen and was also injured as a result of being stepped on while crammed into the exit.

As a result of this incident, the Indonesian League 1 competition was suspended indefinitely. President Joko Widodo also ordered his staff to conduct a thorough evaluation.
