A fire broke out at Ajax's stadium ahead of their Eredivisie clash against bitter rivals Feyenoord on Sunday afternoon.
The incident started when several flares were set off near the pitch for a pyrotechnic display. It's unclear whether this was planned by Ajax or the fans. Once these flares went out, an unplanned fire and thick smoke was visible from the bottom of the stand.
It appears one or several of the flares caught a banner, which fed the flames. The fire was extinguished but not before a significant amount of smoke filled the stand. It's unclear whether anyone injured by the worrying flames or dangerous smoke.
