NAC Breda has a suspect in the picture for throwing objects at Willem II players. That led to the final abandonment of the game on Friday-evening. The club calls on this person to report.
NAC does this in a joint statement with the municipality of Breda, the police and the Public Prosecution Service.
Discontinued
The Brabant derby between NAC and Willem II in the Kitchen Champion Division is the first match that has been canceled since the tightened rules of the KNVB. Referee Jeroen Manschot followed the new rules.
He first sent the players to the dressing room after a piece of fireworks landed on the pitch of the Rat Verlegh stadium. Shortly after the restart, Willem II scored (0-1). The Tilburgers celebrated this right in front of the stands with NAC fans and then got cups of beer thrown over them.
Manschot then stopped the match definitively. “We are making every effort to identify the perpetrators, including by carefully studying the camera images,” the club said in the joint statement. “This will undoubtedly have consequences, personally or collectively.”
