They started attacking officers, they damaged cars,&quot; he said, adding that two police officers were among the deceased.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;We would like to convey that not all of them were anarchic. Only about 3,000 who entered the pitch,&quot; he said.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFleeing fans &quot;went out to one point at the exit. Then there was a build-up, in the process of accumulation, there was shortness of breath, lack of oxygen&quot;, he added.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nVideos on social media show fans clambering over fences to escape. Separate videos appear to show lifeless bodies on the floor.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nFIFA, the world&#39;s governing football body, states that no &quot;crowd control gas&quot; should be carried or used by stewards or police at matches.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe Indonesian football association (PSSI) said it had launched an investigation, adding that the incident had &quot;tarnished the face of Indonesian football&quot;.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nViolence at football matches is not new in Indonesia, and Arema FC and Persebaya Surabaya are long-time rivals.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPersebaya Surabaya fans were banned from buying tickets for the game because of fears of clashes.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nBut Chief Security Minister Mahfud MD posted on Instagram that 42,000 tickets had been sold for the match at the Kanjuruhan stadium.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nPresident Widodo called for this to be the &quot;last soccer tragedy in the nation&quot; after ordering that all Liga 1 games should be paused pending an investigation.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe stampede is the latest in a long line of disasters at stadiums.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn 1964, a total of 320 people were killed and more than 1,000 injured during a stampede at a Peru-Argentina Olympic qualifier in Lima.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn 1985, 39 people died and 600 were hurt at the Heysel stadium in Brussels, Belgium, when fans were crushed against a wall that then collapsed during the European Cup final between Liverpool (England) and Juventus (Italy).<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nIn the UK, a crush developed at the Hillsborough stadium in Sheffield, resulting in the deaths of 97 Liverpool fans attending the club&#39;s FA Cup semi-final against Nottingham Forest.<\/p>\r\n",
