The match was abandoned in accordance with the new guidelines in Dutch football, which were introduced following the recent events in the cup semi-final between Ajax and Feyenoord. Ajax midfielder Davy Klaassen was hit by a lighter in it, causing a laceration to his head.
The Dutch Football Association subsequently decided that matches would be stopped immediately if a player or referee was hit by an object thrown from the stands. According to Reuters, Groningen’s duel with Nijmegen will probably be played behind closed doors at a later date.
| Dutch Football League – Round 30: |

| The Groningen – Nijmegen match was ended early due to crowd unrest. |
