Ajax’s league match against Groningen was abandoned on Sunday after supporters set off fireworks and flares at the Johan Cruyff Arena in Amsterdam.
Referee Bas Nijhuis halted play within minutes, and a second attempt to resume the game also failed as fireworks continued.
The match was officially abandoned at 0-0. Ajax issued a statement calling the incidents “utterly outrageous” and said the safety of spectators and players had been put at risk.
The fixture will now be played on Tuesday without fans, according to the club.
