Fireworks from outside stadium suspend play for 17 minutes

The Eredivisie match between FC Emmen and ADO Den Haag was suspended for 17 minutes after supporters set off fireworks outside the stadium.

Play was stopped due to poor visibility after 13 minutes in the Dutch top-flight match at De Oude Meerdijk.

The players had to leave the field while the smoke lifted, with visitors Den Haag 1-0 up before the stoppage.

Fans are currently not permitted to attend matches in the Netherlands under current coronavirus restrictions.

Miguel Araujo cancelled out Vicente Besuijen’s opener in the second half to earn a point for winless Emmen, who remain bottom of the table – one place and three points behind Den Haag.
