More than 320 people were also injured after hosts Arema FC of East Java's Malang city losing to Persebaya Surabaya FC 3-2 yesterday evening. Mourners today gathered outside the gates of the stadium to lay flowers for the victims, before people burned candles in a vigil at a lion statue, the local club's symbol. Hundreds have also attended a candle-lit vigil in the capital Jakarta this evening, carrying placards that read 'Indonesian soccer in mourning' and 'stop police brutality'.
