Voetbalzone reports that the match was halted after a firework bomb exploded on the field near goalkeeper Tjark Ernst, affecting both home and away supporters. Some of the affected supporters are being treated by the EHBO (Emergency Medical Aid).
The incident highlights the potential risks of fireworks at football matches. In recent years, there have been several instances of fireworks being used to disrupt matches in the Netherlands.
