As a tribute to the late goalkeeper, Persela retired Huda's number 1 shirt after his death. Huda'sloyalty to the club is unquestionable. From 1999 to 2017, he has never played with any other club except Persela.[6]
Huda died after an incident in the match againstSemen Padang atLiga 1 match week 29. He collided with a teammate,Ramon Rodrigues, while trying to collect the ball from an opponent and was struck in the chest. Paramedics immediately gave him sideline emergency treatment. A paramedic said that after the incident, he was still conscious and complained of a chest pain, but his condition soon relapsed and he later died from his injuries in a local hospital.[7]
According to a doctor in the local hospital, he suffered from collision on his chest and lower jaw, which causedhypoxia that ultimately led to his death.[8] Moreover, due to severe injury, he might also have experienced trauma to his head, neck, and chest.[9]
