Indonesian police fired tear gas outside a soccer stadium to disperse fans who were trying to force their way into a match in Central Java province on Friday, months after the use of tear gas in another stadium caused one of the world's worst sporting disasters.
No injuries were reported on Friday, when thousands of supporters of PSIS Semarang fled tear gas at the entrance to Jatidiri Stadium in Semarang city after they attempted to enter the closed-door match to support their team against Persis Solo, a team from Surakarta city.
