SC Cambuur fans suffer burns and eye injuries after Feyenoord supporters throw fireworks

Dutch club SC Cambuur said fans have suffered "burns, hearing damage and eye injuries" after Feyenoord supporters threw fireworks during Sunday's league match.

Play was suspended for around 10 minutes in the first half after visiting fans in the away end at the Kooi Stadion lit a large number of red flares and threw fireworks.

Some of the fireworks were aimed towards sections containing home fans and SC Cambuur said in a statement that five supporters were confirmed to have been injured.

Feyenoord said it "firmly distances itself from the unacceptable events" and that head coach Giovanni van Bronckhorst - an assistant to Arne Slot at Liverpool last season - apologised on behalf of the club to SC Cambuur after the match.

"It should be clear that setting off and firing fireworks is completely unacceptable and has no place in a football stadium whatsoever," SC Cambuur said.

The club, who were promoted to the Eredivisie last season after three seasons in the Dutch second tier, said it would work with the authorities to make sure those responsible were punished, while Feyenoord said they would request camera footage.
