The fans of Feyenoord lit fireworks in the away stand, targeting not only the opposing team's fans but also the home fans of Cambuur. This reckless behaviour prompted referee Danny Makkelie to temporarily halt the match. The players were quickly ushered to the catacombs, a safe area beneath the stadium.
The incident highlights the growing concern about fan safety and the need for stricter measures to prevent such incidents. In recent years, there have been several instances of fireworks being used to disrupt matches, resulting in injuries and damage to property.
The exact circumstances surrounding the match's continuation are still unclear. VoetbalPrimeur reports that it is uncertain if and how the match will continue. The safety of the players and fans remains the top priority, and any decision regarding the match's resumption will be made with their well-being in mind.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining a safe and respectful environment at football matches.
