A number of supporters are known to have attacked each other in the main area of the stadium.

The moment was recorded and viral was uploaded for the first time via the @ultras.id fanbase account on Instagram. In the upload, it can be seen that this friction between supporters has occurred since the time it was in the stands before the match ended and spread to the ring area outside the stadium after the match was over.

Based on the information written to accompany the upload, the trigger for friction was because the supporters brought the club's identity outside of support for the Indonesian national team.

"According to the information, it is suspected that the friction occurred because it brought the identities of each club," wrote a statement quoted on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.

Luckily, the source also mentioned that the riot between the supporters did not last long. You see, the security forces can unravel the commotion that occurred.

"The riot between supporters did not last long. The security forces immediately stopped after the commotion occurred," the statement added.

Prior to the incident, a commotion had also occurred at the stadium entrance area in the middle of the match. From the information obtained, hundreds of people are known to have forced their way through the gates of the Yellow Gate.

The collection of supporters then pushed into Zone A to then fulfill the stands that had previously been fully filled. From the information, it was stated that of the hundreds of supporters who pushed in, it was mixed between spectators who had official tickets and those who did not have tickets.

"Zona A broke, rioted, 20 percent of the official ticket owners could not enter the stadium," reads a written statement received.
