Sept 11 (Reuters) - Dutch ⁠football matches will be abandoned if ⁠fireworks are used in the stands ‌under a new agreement between theKNVB, the Public Prosecution Service and Justice and Security Minister David ​van Weel, Dutch media reported.

The ⁠move follows an ⁠incident during SC Cambuur's league match against ⁠Feyenoord ‌in Leeuwarden last month, when visiting supporters threw fireworks, leaving several ⁠fans with burns, hearing damage and ​eye injuries.

"From ‌now on, the rule is: if ⁠fireworks are ​used, the match is over immediately and the entire stadium can go home," Van ⁠Weel told Dutch newspaper AD.

The ​match was halted for around 20 minutes in the first half after Feyenoord fans ⁠in the away section lit large numbers of red flares and threw fireworks. Some were aimed at sections housing Cambuur ​supporters, while one exploded ⁠on the pitch just a few metres ​from Feyenoord goalkeeper Tjark ‌Ernst.

Cambuur later said five ​fans were injured.

9月11日（路透社）——据荷兰媒体报道，根据荷兰足协、公共检察署和司法与安全部长大卫·范·维尔达成的一项新协议，如果在看台上燃放烟花，荷兰足球比赛将被取消。

此前，上个月在吕伐登举行的 SC Cambuur 对阵 费耶诺德的联赛比赛中发生了一起事件，当时客队球迷投掷烟花，导致多名球迷烧伤、听力受损和眼部受伤。

“从现在开始，规则是：如果燃放烟花，比赛立即结束，整个体育场的人都可以回家，”范维尔告诉荷兰报纸《AD》。

上半场比赛因费耶诺德客队球迷点燃大量红色焰火和烟花而中断约 20 分钟。其中一些焰火瞄准了坎布尔球迷所在的区域，还有一枚焰火在距离费耶诺德门将蒂亚克·恩斯特仅几米远的球场上爆炸。

坎布尔后来表示，有五名球迷受伤。
