Two Indonesian football teams have played for the first time since their last match ended with one of sport’s worst stadium disasters.<\/span><\/p>\n In October, <\/span>135 people died in a crush<\/span><\/a> following a match between Indonesian clubs Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya at Arema’s Kanjuruhan Stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The two rivals met again on Tuesday at a stadium owned by the national police force in Indonesia’s capital Jakarta.<\/span><\/p>\n There were no fans present and Persebaya won 1-0.<\/span><\/p>\n Arema coach Joko Susilo said some of his team did not play because of the mental impact of the previous fixture.<\/span><\/p>\n “We understand all of that and here we are working hard, we have also prepared our tactics, any technical issues but mentally it’s very difficult,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n “We know some of the players were deeply [traumatized], but that was our job.”<\/span><\/p>\n Only a handful of media personnel were present inside the ground along with club officials and security guards. Hundreds of police officers were seen on guard outside the stadium.<\/span><\/p>\n A report found that <\/span>tear gas fired by Indonesian police triggered the crush<\/span><\/a>, despite tear gas being banned as a crowd control measure by football’s world governing body Fifa.<\/span><\/p>\n The report said the disaster happened after Arema fans ran on to the pitch following their team’s defeat to rivals Persebaya, and tear gas was then fired.<\/span><\/p>\n Hundreds then tried to flee through the exits, which caused a deadly stampede.<\/span><\/p>\n Two club officials were jailed last month<\/span><\/a> after courts found Arema guilty of criminal negligence causing death. Another three people have been charged over the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n The reverse fixture was supposed to be played on 5 March but was <\/span>postponed by police<\/span><\/a> because of the risk of further trouble.<\/span><\/p>\n
