Tensions rose after the match during the exit of the Feyenoord fans, when this group sought confrontation with FC Utrecht supporters. The Feyenoord supporters attempted to break out from the parking lot where they were at that moment. The Riot Police intervened using batons and pepper spray. Footage of this is circulating on social media. Johan van Hartskamp, sector head of police Utrecht: I am deeply outraged by the attitude and behavior of these supporters.
Arrests
The first arrests have been made for incitement and a stadium ban. The triangle, consisting of the police, municipality, and judiciary, will discuss the events with the football clubs.
Violence
Violence is always intense and often evokes emotions. This is understandable. The use of force is assessed and justified. The involved officers report the violence to the public prosecutor, who makes a mutation or registration of it. In case of registration, the action is reviewed by the police chief. The police chief bases this on advice from the sector head and the use of force committee. The committee includes, among others, an independent citizen appointed by the Minister of Justice and Security.
