A SUPPORTER of Indonesia's beleaguered national side was so frustrated by its lackluster performance against Oman that he ran on to the pitch, dribbled the ball into the opposing box and had a shot on goal.
The fan, Hendri Mulyadi, 25, later apologized although many online postings cheered his antics.
"I apologize to the football fans across Indonesia for what I've done," Mulyadi was quoted as telling Kompas.com after the match on Wednesday which Oman won 2-1.
He picked up the ball deep in Oman's half late in the game and showed a neat turn of pace to take it into the box but the goalkeeper blocked his effort.
A policeman, who had visibly struggled to keep up with the bare-footed fan, eventually caught up, put him in a headlock and dragged him away.
"I was very disappointed with the Indonesian national team. They never win. It's either lose or draw," Mulyadi said.
Indonesia's fortunes have been on the slide in recent years.
Online postings rallied behind Mulyadi: "Wah, he could be a future striker for Indonesia," said one posted by Crackerjos. "This guy is a hero!!!" said another.
