The Brabant derby between FC Den Bosch and TOP Oss got completely out of hand on Saturday afternoon after the final whistle. It reports that Brabants Dagblad. Den Bosch won 4-1 and that was difficult for the fans of the visiting party to swallow. They destroyed a fence in Stadium de Vliert, with all its consequences.
The Oss fans saw that their team was sent from pillar to post in the game of the year in the second half and that led to a lot of frustration after the final whistle from referee Joey Kooij. They broke through a fence in the stadium and seriously injured a security guard, who was standing by the fence and wanted to intervene. It BD writes that he was taken to hospital with serious injuries, as he got the fence on his head. The security guard would now be conscious.
The fans who broke through the fence, meanwhile, came to blows with the supporters of Den Bosch, the other security guards and riot police. Stones and torches were also thrown. Several security guards and stewards were also injured. In the end, several people were arrested and the ME was able to guarantee peace in and around the stadium. “Too sad for words,” said general manager Rob Almering of FC Den Bosch. “Football is not important right now.”
Klaas Wels, technical director and former head coach of TOP Oss, rushed onto the field during the incidents and tried to bring his club’s supporters to reason. He is terribly disappointed by the incidents. “Terrible to see someone doing their job lying on the pitch with a head injury. I like a healthy rivalry and it may be on the edge, but this is over the edge. Everyone knows that.” The derby between Den Bosch and Oss has been played without an audience a few times in the past. A new ban on visiting fans may be in the offing.
