1:06Now PlayingSupporters of the Indonesian national team Futsal held a vigil in Jakarta on Monday to remember at least 125 people who died at a stadium during the weekend.
They lit candles and sang songs for the Arema victims.
Police fired tear gas after the soccer match, Saturday, in an attempt to stop violence which triggered a disastrous crush of fans making a panicked, chaotic run for the exits, leaving at least 125 people dead, most of them trampled upon or suffocated.
Attention immediately focused on police crowd-control measures at Saturday night's match between host Arema FC of East Java's Malang city and Persebaya Surabaya.
Witnesses described officers beating them with sticks and shields before shooting tear gas canisters directly into the crowds.
Brawls are common among rival Indonesian soccer fans, so much so that the organizer had banned Persebaya supporters from Arema's stadium.
But violence still broke out when the home team lost 3-2 and some of the 42,000 Arema fans, known as "Aremania," threw bottles and other objects at players and soccer officials.
