Indonesia stadium stampede kills two
- 12 years ago
An Indonesian football match turns deadly when a stampede breaks out.
Two people are killed as fans anxious to see the Southeast Asian Games final rush the stadium in Jakarta.
More than 100,000 flooded the 88,000 capacity arena for the match against Malaysia.
And thousands more watched on screens outside.
When tickets sold out earlier in the day, fans set fire to two ticket booths.
Indonesia lost the match in a penalty shootout.
