The confrontation escalated quickly, with Youri Baas sprinting directly towards Van Bommel. Other players also got into a fight with each other, and even Ajax's wisselspelers stormed the field. Ajax trainer Míchel Sanchez even went to check on Bouwman, who was treated on the field and showed a lot of pain. Ajax had already made five substitutions, but this was considered a white card, allowing Bouwman to be replaced. Thilo Kehrer was his replacement. Van Bommel, Baas, Davy Klaassen, Ivan Perisic, and Lutsharel Geertruida were all given a yellow card. PSV currently leads Ajax 1-2 after 80 minutes of play.
