Indonesian football has been rocked by the news that Persela Lamongan goalkeeper Choirul Huda has passed away following a mid-game collision.

Having left his line to block the ball, Huda lost consciousness inside his penalty area.

Medical staff rushed to his aid and quickly escorted him from the field on a stretcher and to a local hospital.
