Jay Idzes became the initiator to make circle barricades cover Filipino player Adrian Ugelvik, who was collapsing on the pitch and receiving intense medical treatment.
This situation occurred when the Indonesian national team hosted the Philippines in the final match of Group F of the second round of the 2026 World Cup Qualification at the Gelora Bung Karno Main Stadium, Tuesday, June 11, 2024.
Adrian Ugelvik was unconscious after an aerial duel with goalkeeper Ernando Ari Sutaryadi and his head first touched the ground when he landed.
The medical team immediately entered the field after the players gave the emergency code. Before long, Jay Idzes asked the Indonesian and Philippine national team players to make barricades around Adrian Ugelvik.

As is known, making the fence live around the collapsing players like a form of respect for fellow footballers. They protect the player from the spotlight of the camera and everyone who is gada in the stadium, especially supporters.
Jay Idzes' action received a lot of praise on social media. Many accounts uploaded the moment the Venezia player invited all the players to make barricades.
"Well, this is a respect moment when Jay Idzes invited the players to make barricades. Indonesian & Filipino players finally compactly cover the treatment process carried out by the medical team to Filipino players. Hopefully, they can recover soon and there will be no serious injury for Adrian Ugelvik," wrote the @Faksbola account on X (Twitter).
"The moment when Jay Idzes invited all players to form a protective line so that the player who was collapsing was not highlighted by the camera. Bang Jay's respect!" tweeted @The-RedsIndo.
"Respects for Bang Jay Idzes who directed other players to take positions and cover down the players in the Philippines who fell," wrote the account @HabisNontnFilm.
"Respect Indonesian national team players when there are Filipino players who crash hard and need an ambulance. Jay Idzes, his leadership spirit is very big, immediately in the form of a circle to protect Filipino players," said the account @Riweh_Banget.
"A man called Jay Idzes, super leadership unites two Indonesian and Philippine teams," said the account @bigssbunny.
The move began to get serious attention in world football after the Christian Eriksen incident which collapsed in Denmark vs Finland in 2021.
Apart from that, Adrian Ugelvik's condition is now reported to have improved. He has uploaded a photo of him still lying in the hospital to thank all Indonesian players and supporters.
