At least 125 people have died in a crush at an Indonesian football match that has become one of the world’s worst stadium disasters

About 180 were also hurt in aftermath of home team Arema FC's loss to bitter rivals at the overcrowded stadium late on Saturday in Malang, East Java.

The crush took place after police tear-gassed fans who invaded the pitch.

Fifa President Gianni Infantino said it was "a dark day for all involved in football and a tragedy beyond comprehension".
