The safety of the players, but also of the public, cannot be sufficiently guaranteed without the use of the police. Even thinking about whether you could have played the match... the final conclusion was no. I have needed 200-300 police officers to guide the Ajax bus... to ensure the match is played under safe conditions and there is no trouble afterwards.
After Feyenoord achieved a 3-0 lead, home fans threw flares and fireworks onto the pitch, forcing a halt to play. The match concluded three days later behind closed doors, with Feyenoord sealing a decisive 4-0 win.
