Tempers flared as Indonesia lost to Malaysia in a World Cup qualifier on Thursday night, Sept. 5, 2019, at the Gelora Bung Karno stadium in Jakarta.

Indonesia football fans clashed with security personnel outside the Bung Karno stadium, which led the authorities to contain the crowd with tear gas, CNN Indonesia reported.

The Indonesian national team conceded a late goal in the seventh minute of injury time.

Indonesia, playing at home, were downed 2-3.

Syed Saddiq stuck in stadium

Malaysia's Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman was among those trapped in the stadium after the match.

Syed Saddiq's press secretary told a WhatsApp group for journalists that both the minister and himself were unable to leave the stadium after the match ended, but were safe.

Syed Saddiq also said via Instagram that several Indonesian football fans tried to barge into the area reserved for Malaysian fans.
