The Dutch FA have ruled that the AZ Alkmaar goalkeeper who was sent off for repeatedly kicking a pitch invader — leading to the game being abandoned — will not face any suspension.
Nach einer Fan-Attacke trat Alkmaars Torhüter den Angreifer und wurde vom Platz gestellt. Daraufhin verließen alle Gästespieler in Amsterdam das Spielfeld.
The fan, identified by Ajax as a 19-year-old “who had been drinking”, approached Alkmaar’s Esteban Alvarado from behind after 36 minutes of their Dutch cup match on Wednesday. However the Costa Rican saw him coming, tripped him up, then kicked him before stewards intervened.
The referee Bas Nijhuis responded to the incident by showing Esteban a red card for violent conduct, prompting an outraged Alkmaar coach Gertjan Verbeek to order his side to walk off. Despite efforts to convince them to come back, the team refused and the game was called off.
Nijhuis said afterwards: “I understand that Esteban was defending himself, but he walked to him [the supporter] and kicked him multiple times. He could also have walked away.”
The Laws of Football state: “A player is guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball. He is also guilty of violent conduct if he uses excessive force or brutality against a team-mate, spectator, match official or any other person.”
The Dutch FA’s disciplinary committee later intervened and, while confirming Nijhuis was right to show the red card, ruled that Alvarado would not be suspended as a result, due to the exceptional circumstances. AZ praised the intervention as “only right… this is the best decision”.
The FA is still considering whether to have the game completed or replayed. Ajax were leading 1-0 at the time of the abandonment.
Ajax apologised for the security lapse and said the supporter will receive a lifetime ban. “This was a terrible incident and we deeply regret it and offer our sincere apologies,” said director Jeroen Slop. “The supporter has been handed over to the police. He just said he hated the AZ goalkeeper and had therefore attacked him.”
Police are holding the supporter, whose name was not released, on assault charges — and made 25 other arrests during and after the match.
The country’s justice minister Ivo Opstelten said the attack was “beastly” and warned: “Jerks and nuts don’t belong on the field.” He added that he thought AZ’s Verbeek was right to walk out under the circumstances. “I have a lot of respect for how he acted.”

shocking decision
hey man the goalie was just doing WHAT EVER THE FUCK HE WANTED TO DO !
@stevemisog Self defence my arse, maybe if there was just one kick when the fan went for him. The keeper kicked the shit out of him.
@liamwitdre Who is to say the fan didn't have a knife? Monica Seles remember? or does you tiny little brain not remember back that far
@ruxtonc666 Eric Cantona attacked a fan in the stands how do you compare that to a fan deliberately running onto the pitch past the so called security that are hired by Ajax and attacks a keeper remember Monica Seles?? How is the keeper to know the fan didn't have a knife?
@kiwiboy1 he went on the floor after the first kick, the stewards are quite clearly coming on to handle the situation. If what you say was true and he did have a knife (lets assume the GK thought that) then he would have fully backed off and let him get dealt with accordingly by the stewards/police. I studied A-level law and have been in trouble with the police for assault, this is more than self-defence.
@liamwitdre Did the keeper see where the stewards were? Not a chance. When he saw where the stewards were he backed off from the guy. 2 kicks after being attacked does not constitute assualt in any country. Whether you study A-level law or not is irrealevant here, as this attack, in a lawful sence, happend on the keepers place of work. Where the fan could be viewed as an intruder unlawfully entering a restricted area. Not to mention this could also be viewed as a hate crime too
@ahmads07 Im not taking it serious, it's not self defence. Walk the plank you mincer.
Even if the guy wasn't armed if I was him I sure as hell wasn't gonna let that guy kick me and get away with it. Good on you goalkeeper!
I would've done the same to that moron fan but the referee was right to send him off even despite it later being rescinded. You can't show that level of violence on a football field, be it to a fan or another player
After the suspectted attacker fell to ground no need of hitting him on to the ground repeatedly, just defending him self the guy haven't power to get off from the ground, this goalkeeper has been hired with this silly attacker at least need of some respect to other. Moron goal keeper for hitting on ground
Classical self defense.
the referee should have been sent off and banned from doing that job for life. no idea what so ever
LOL!
@Hugh White. So if a spectator tries to kung-fu kick you in your back, you just let it happen, go to hospital for three months and say to yourself: "I did a great job doing absolutely nothing"?
for all of you claiming that ref decided well…..game is stopped moment
hooligan steps on the pitch. Moment hooligan hits the goalkeeper match
must be abandoned…plain and simple…..players safety comes before any
other rule. Therefore since game should have been immediately abandoned
there's no red card
Europe is so cucked, defending yourself is now frowned upon.
This isn't a red card when its self-defence and shows how the FIFA Laws of the game are inadequate. What was the goalie supposed to do? Stay there and get attacked? The referee needed to use 'common sense' which isn't in the rule book.
Lol. Poor guy.
So if you defend yourself against a thug running onto the pitch, you get sent off? That is just ridiculous.
Great coach
