Objects on the field for the second time at NAC-Willem II: game stopped according to new rules | Football

The game was already stopped halfway through the second half due to fireworks on the field in Breda. Referee Jeroen Manschot sent both teams – according to the guidelines – to the dressing room. After ten minutes or so, the game resumed.

Not much later, things went wrong again in the Rat Verlegh Stadium. The visitors from Tilburg opened the score, after which they were pelted by various objects from the audience while cheering.

Manschot immediately blew off and gestured that the players had to leave the field again, this time permanently. He thus followed the rules that the KNVB tightened last week after the events in De Kuip at Feyenoord-Ajax.

At the time of stopping it was 0-1 for Willem II. It is still unknown whether that score will also be used as the final score or whether the game will still be played out. The KNVB should look into that.
