The collision caused the player to be unconscious. He stopped breathing and suffered cardiac arrest. After several attempts to revive Huda, they declared him dead at around 5 pm, on Sunday evening, Yahoo reported.

Despite the tragic death of the player, Persela Football Club strived and continued to fight against Semen Padang. Persela FC succeeded in beating the other team with a score of 2-0. Too sad though that Huda was not able to witness his team’s victory in the match. Huda’s life was gone in an instant.
