Ajax's clash with Groningen has been abandoned just nine minutes in after angry fans stormed the pitch and threw smoke bombs.
The home supporters were protesting their club's board after their team suffered relegation from the Eredivisie this season. The players were first taken off in the sixth minute after smoke bombs were thrown on the pitch, before a fan stormed onto the field carrying a banner calling for the Groningen board to resign.
The game was then able to be restarted after the pitch was cleared, but three minutes later fireworks were thrown down from the stands. That led to referee Jeroen Manschot abandoning the match, in line with new rules enacted by the Royal Dutch Football Association.
