The main referee of the match between Aceh and Bandar Sulteng was injured due to questionable decisions.
The quarterfinal match of the Indonesian Cup between the teams Aceh and Bandar Sulteng ended in a big scandal. The main character of the meeting was its referee, Eko Agus Sugiharto.
Throughout the match, the referee made controversial decisions that did not favor Sulteng. During the game, he eliminated two team players at once.
In addition, Sugiharto ignored other people’s penalty area violations, where an Aceh footballer intentionally headbutted his opponent.
Despite all the referee’s attempts, Bandar Sulteng still led 1:0 at the end of the match. However, when in the 96th minute the referee gave a dubious penalty against Bandar Sulteng, one of the players couldn’t resist and gave the referee a blow that immediately knocked out the poor fellow.
Aceh vs Sulteng football matches in PON 2024 ini kalo menurut saya sih KOCAK ABIIEEZZZ.
I was also a little disappointed, soalnya wasit kena pukul di leher. Why isn’t the head part or dada part sold???

Receiving a strong blow to the jaw, the referee lost consciousness. The arriving doctors hospitalized the victim, and a substitute referee entered the field and removed the rude man from the field.
The hosts did not score a penalty, but a few minutes later the reserve referee awarded another penalty kick to the visitors’ goal. From the second, Aceh United managed to level the score and send the game to overtime. The visitors refused to finish the match and left the field. Aceh reached the cup semi-finals.
The local football federation has promised to look into the scandalous match and punish all those responsible.
