Visuals: The sequence starts with a shot of a soccer player made up of blue crystals kicking a golden soccer ball in a neon, futuristic soccer stadium. Another soccer player, which is made up of red crystals, sees the ball and tries to catch it, along with another soccer player made up of blue crystals, who is later knocked in the head by the ball. Another player made up of red crystals manages to kick the ball. However, the ball ends up flying over the stadium. As the camera zooms to show the top of the stadium, the ball explodes to show Astro's trademark rectangular logo, with the top part being dark blue and having the Astro wordmark on it, and the bottom part being red and having "ARENA BOLA" on it. A gold curve is sandwiched by the parts of the rectangle. Under the logo reads "SIARAN LANGSUNG (LIVE BROADCAST)" in white, which turns gold as the logo shines.

Technique: CGI.

Audio: It starts off with a dramatic sting, before transitioning into a dubstep tune. Booming-like and wooshing sounds are heard throughout the ident.
