Over the weekend, one of the deadliest stadium disasters happened in Malang, East Java when local rivals Arema FC lost to Persebaya Surabaya - the Arema's first home lost in this fixture for over 23 years. Fans stormed the pitch causing police & authorities to react firing teargas trapping fans and causing at least 125 fans their lives - including 32 young children - and hundreds more hurt in the aftermath. With Indonesian fans and police/security officials shifting the blame to each other in the days that followed, this week we dissect how and why this happened & how the Kanjurahan disaster would affect the landscape of Indonesian football.
