Gresik –
The chaos that occurred outside the Gelora Joko Samudro Stadium ended Gresik United defeated Deltas FC 1-2 in advanced Liga 2 this season. Gresik Police explained the chronology of the incident.
Reported detikJatim, this riot started when a group of Gresik supporters wanted to demonstrate against the club management. However, their efforts were blocked by police barricades.
The authorities took this step because they were worried that the demonstration would disrupt security, considering that the Deltras FC squad had not yet left the stadium. This is where friction occurs.

“What happened was that the football broke up, Gresik lost to Deltras 2-1. Then the spectators went home until the stadium was cleaned, in the parking lot there were several supporters who wanted to meet the GU (Gresik United) officials, wanting to ask how it was possible if the direction was that way,” said Kasi Gresik Police Public Relations Inspector Wiwit Mariyanto, Sunday (19/11/2023).

“Then several members of the Regional Police were hit on the head, we remained there. With so many supporters, we couldn’t maintain the situation. If there were many victims, finally action was taken. Measurable action, outside the stadium,” said Wiwit.
