Welcome to our live blog about Ajax – FC Groningen. Things went completely wrong in Amsterdam on Sunday and the match was stopped due to an extremely large number of fireworks being set off in the stadium. This afternoon the match will be played without an audience. Kick-off is at 2:30 PM.
There are specific rules in the event of a strike in a football match. For example, both teams must start with the same players. Only if someone has been injured or has become ill may this be deviated from, provided this has been approved by a sports doctor from the KNVB.
Trainer Fred Grim and Dick Lukkien had both not made a substitution on Sunday, so they could still use five substitutions.
