Ajax Fans Set Fire to Pitch During Champions League Match

In the Champions League, fans of Amsterdam's "Ajax" provoked a serious incident at their own stadium.

During a match in Amsterdam, fans set fire to the pitch, launching hundreds of pyrotechnic materials from the stands. The action, which was intended as a tribute to the memory of a deceased fan, got out of control, turning into uncontrollable chaos.

As reported by ESPN, the "Ajax" - "Groningen" match was first stopped for 40 minutes, but even after that break, the explosions continued.

In the situation that arose, the organizers were forced to interrupt the match and postpone it. The game will take place on December 2, but for security reasons, it will be without spectators, in empty stands.
