The match was cut shot after fans became violent in protest at the scoreline
The Eredivisie match between rivals Ajax and Feyenoord was called off Sunday with Feyenoord leading 3-0 after fans threw fireworks onto the field at the Johan Cruyff Arena.
After the match was brought to an early end, video posted on social media showed angry Ajax fans attempting to storm the stadium’s main entrance. Police said they used tear gas to quell the unrest around the stadium.
Hours later, Ajax fired its director of soccer, Sven Mislintat, who only joined the club in May.
Before Sunday’s match was finally halted, it had already been stopped twice before the break by referee Serdar Gözübüyük because of fans throwing fireworks and a plastic cup onto the field.
The three-goal deficit will heap more pressure on Ajax coach Maurice Steijn, who is in his first season at the club after replacing John Heitinga. Ajax had won one match, drawn two and lost one before Sunday’s game.
