Indonesian player banned for three years for kungfu kick to opponent's back

The Indonesian Football Federation issued bans ranging from one to three years for eight players involved in a brawl during Dewa United's 2-1 victory over Bhayangkara FC in the U20 Indonesian tournament on 19/4.

Five Bhayangkara players received suspensions from one to three years: Fadly Alberto (3), Aqilah Lissunah, Afrizah Riqh, Ahmad Catur (2), and Mufdi Iskandar (1). Assistant coach Mukhlis Hadi Ning was suspended for 4 matches.

Three Dewa players also received bans from one to two years: Reyvan Rezqi (2), Keysa Fawwaza, and Muhammad Ridwan (1).

Fadly Alberto received the heaviest penalty for delivering a kungfu-style kick to Rakha Nurkholis's back, causing the Dewa United player to fall hard to the ground. Ahmad Catur attacked a Dewa member who had his hands up in a plea, and Aqilah kicked a Dewa player in the stomach.

The incident began when Dewa took a 2-1 lead late in the match. Bhayangkara FC members felt aggrieved, believing the opponent's goal was scored from an offside position but still allowed by the referee. Tensions escalated further after a foul led to a brawl between players and officials from both sides.

Fadly's violent behavior caused outrage after it was recorded on video and widely shared across social media platforms in Indonesia. Fadly was previously known for scoring the decisive goal that helped his team defeat Honduras 2-1 in the final match of Group H at the U17 World Cup 2025, which was Indonesia's only victory in two appearances at the tournament. He had also been called up to the national U20 team.

Following the incident, all involved players issued public apologies. Both teams also arranged for the players to meet, apologize, and reconcile. At that time, Fadly stated he would accept any penalties from the Indonesian Football Federation (PSSI). "Perhaps this is a disaster, a challenge for me, but I must continue to strive to pursue my dream of becoming a professional player," said the forward, born in 2008.

Bhayangkara FC respects the decisions of the PSSI Disciplinary Committee but will file an appeal. However, coach Yongki Pamungkas believes the duration of the bans needs to be reviewed more comprehensively and proportionately. He asserted that players from both sides are very close, respect each other, and the incident was merely a temporary emotional outburst during a tense moment.
