Ajax Amsterdam's Eredivisie game against Feyenoord on Sunday was suspended after rioting fans disrespected players and threw flares onto the pitch, BBC reported.
Police used tear gas to disperse the rioting fans outside the stadium, as they attempted to force their way into the stadium after the game was halted.
"A group of angry Ajax fans tried to force their way into the stadium after the game was halted leading the police to disperse them with tear gas," Amsterdam police wrote on social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
"After the stopped game supporters broke into the main (stadium) entrance. Order has since been restored," the police said.
Feyenoord, leading 3-0 at the Johan Cruyff Arena, in Amsterdam, was called off after a series of incidents, including a plastic cup being thrown onto the pitch, and flares being thrown by angry fans.
Fans paid no heed to the message "Lighting of fireworks is prohibited" displayed on the big screen at the Johan Cruyff Arena as the referee directed the players down the tunnel after the match was stopped.
