ARNHEM, the Netherlands, April 13 (Reuters)

 

The Dutch championship match between Groningen and Ajax Amsterdam was postponed on Sunday after fans set fire to paper in the stands.

 

One person was “lightly injured” due to burns, three others were taken to hospital for check-ups and a total of 19 people were treated for smoke inhalation, a spokesman for Groningen police said.

 

The match, due to kickoff at 1230 GMT, did not start, with fans spilling on to the pitch to escape the smoke.

 

“The clubs’ medical staff thought it was irresponsible to continue with the game,” Groningen trainer Ron Jans was quoted as saying in a statement issued by Ajax.

 

Firefighters had put out all fires and the stadium was being evacuated, the police spokesman added.
