The atmosphere was already tense during the match, according to Hans Schinkel, the chairman of GVVV. "The photo I saw made me think: what happened? You want to know what happened," he told RTV Utrecht. The exact circumstances of the altercation are still unclear, but it is known that Dumay, who transferred from GVVV to IJsselmeervogels this summer, was punched in the face as he entered the tunnel. The incident led to IJsselmeervogels deciding not to continue playing and to report the incident.
An investigation is reportedly underway, and a formal complaint has been filed. Schinkel believes that the incident may have consequences for GVVV, but he leaves it to the KNVB to determine the outcome.
