Three years ago, Heerenveen and Feyenoord also faced each other. Feyenoord then also won 1-0 and then there were several disturbances in the stadium, Feyenoord supporters had bought tickets from others and were therefore spread throughout the stadium.
Sc Heerenveen wanted to prevent a repeat and only gave regular fans a chance to buy a ticket. As a result, only 13,000 people were at the Abe Lenstra stadium on Wednesday. The stadium can accommodate approximately double the number of supporters.
There were no disruptions during the match.
