Eko was immediately rushed to the hospital by ambulance and his role was replaced by Fadli Nurdiana.
Aceh has the right to advance to the semifinals because South Sulawesi chose the walkover (WO). At that time the position was still 1-1 until normal time was over
The match then continued to the extension round. However, South Sulawesi chose to resign.
Meanwhile, the bronze and final match will be held at the Harapan Bangsa Stadium, Banda Aceh, in the afternoon until the evening.
