The 34-year-old victim collapsed on the grass and died shortly after arriving at the hospital. The shocking scenes from the event were shared on the social network.
Unbelievably, this is the second time a footballer in Indonesia has been struck by lightning in the past year. The previous case occurred in a children's league, but did not end in tragedy, when the hospital performed successful CPR on a player who regained consciousness after suffering a cardiac arrest. In 2023, a Brazilian soccer player was also injured and died from a lightning strike, which injured six other players in the same match.
