Early in the first extra time of the 32nd SEA Games final, Irfan Jauhari scored to raise the score to 3-2 for Indonesia. His teammates then ran to celebrate in front of the Thai technical area and a fight broke out.
Sumardji jumped in to stop them. He was trying to pull an assistant from the U.22 Indonesia team out, but then a member of the U.22 Thailand team rushed in and pushed him hard, knocking him to the ground. The head of the U.22 Indonesia team had to lie down and hold his head to avoid being trampled by the crowd during the fight. He was then unable to walk on his own and had to be helped back to his seat. Sumardji suffered a wound on his lip, causing bleeding.
Mr. Sumardji tried to stop them but failed.
After the fight, Mr. Sumardji shared: “In fact, I jumped in to stop everyone but was beaten. The injury was not that serious, this is just part of the match. Instead of waiting for Thailand to apologize, I apologized to Thailand. I myself have learned many lessons from this incident.”
