Abandoned Ajax vs Feyenoord fixture to be completed behind-closed-doors

Ajax and Feyenoord will play out their abandoned De Klassieker fixture behind-closed-doors on Wednesday, Dutch football authorities have confirmed.

Feyenoord were 3-0 up at the Johan Cruyff Arena on Sunday when the game was abandoned in the 56th minute as home fans threw flares and fireworks on to the pitch.

Both sets of players were led off the field by the referee, but police had to take action when furious Ajax fans tried to storm the stadium after the game had been abandoned.

The match will now be completed at 2pm local time with no fans in attendance.

The Dutch FA (KNVB) have moved Ajax’s scheduled Eredivisie game against Volendam to accommodate the re-arranged fixture.
