One of the matches in the Dutch League didn’t go according to the plan at the weekend. The match was Ajax vs. Feyenoord. Unfortunately, the police had to take extreme measures to disperse the rioters after the match. The police even had to use their horses to charge at the fans outside the main arena.
The Eredivisie match between Ajax and Feyenoord was abandoned. However, some of the fans were not happy about how the situation was handled as the riots took charge outside the venue. A chaotic mess occurred, with large mobs of supporters, and the authorities were compelled to take preventive actions.

However, fans around the world have reacted differently to the news. while commenting below the video posted on a social account, a fan said – “Horrible club, horrible supporters”. Another follower quoted – “sc*m, always will be, come on the horses”.
Here are some of the reactions by the fans:
It can be inferred from the above comments that the other fans are not quite pleased with the AFC Ajax’s supporters. According to the reports, the riot was unleashed by a major chunk of the club’s supporters, carrying on their in-ground venting outside the arena. But, before their riot grew stronger, police gasped at the situation.
In the past, one can recall a couple of incidents when a soccer match was abandoned. The first one was a Premier League match between Manchester United and AFC Bournemouth. The match was called off when an unknown package deal was found in one of the washrooms. In 2010, a game between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool was suspended because of terrible snowy conditions inside and outside the venue.
Why Ajax vs. Feyenoord was abandoned?
The Ajax fans are already disappointed by their team’s bad start to the season. The club had just one win to their name in their first four matches. They currently stand at the thirteenth position in the league. As the match began, none of the fans would have imagined before the beginning of the new season. Especially after their third-place finish in the previous season.
