The match between NAC Breda and Willem II was stopped after objects were thrown on the field for the second time. This is in line with the new, stricter measures of the KNVB.
The game was first stopped in the 71st minute because fireworks were thrown on the field. When the game had just resumed, Elton Kabangu scored for Willem II and NAC supporters threw plastic cups at the celebrating players. The referee then permanently removed the teams from the field.
The football association announced the tightening of measures after the ‘lighter incident’ during the Feyenoord-Ajax cup match. A match is immediately stopped when a player or referee is hit by an object from the audience, as happened to Ajax player Davy Klaassen in De Kuip.

The fireworks are removed from the field
When only throwing objects without hitting anyone, players and referees go to the dressing rooms for the first time and the match is temporarily stopped. A second time, the duel is immediately stopped.
The latter scenario occurred when cups of beer were thrown on the field.
NAC coach Peter Hyballa did not have a good word for the behavior of the supporters at ESPN. “The stadium speaker said it: ‘If something is thrown again, the game will be stopped’. It is absolutely not discipline. It is against the team and against the club.”
The start of the loaded derby between the two Brabant clubs – away fans are already not allowed on the instructions of the mayors of Breda and Tilburg – has already been postponed because there were fireworks on the field.
