The match was halted on Saturday, December 21, in the 79th minute with the score tied at 1-1 due to public order concerns. Following a suspended game, the professional football competition board determines how the match will proceed. The primary principle is to ensure the competition remains as fair as possible, with the preference being to decide the outcome on the field.
Due to the winter break and the Round of 16 in the TOTO KNVB Cup, Tuesday, January 28, was identified as the next logical date to resume the game as quickly as possible.
The remaining minutes will be played under conditions that are as close as possible to those at the time the match was suspended.
