By that stage, the Rotterdam side were already 3-0 up and had been since the first half, when the Ajacied decided they'd seen quite enough from their side and essentially went on the rampage after proceedings were halted.Given the score at the time, it would have been assumed that the Eredivise champions would have been awarded the points, and their rivals hammered for the actions of the home support.
The latter will almost certainly happen, but the clash will take place again this Wednesday, played in an empty stadium. As far as Ajax legend Marco Van Basten is concerned though, that's not nearly going for enough with the Netherlands hero calling for football in his homeland to be stopped.However, it's not simply a case of Ajax getting a do over.
The game will restart with 35 minutes plus any stoppage time left to play.
