A Dutch second-tier match between Vitesse Arnhem and De Graafschap was called off after away team supporters blocked their own team's bus from departing for the game.

Fans of De Graafschap were protesting the decision to ban away fans from attending the game at Vitesse's GelreDome stadium after supporters had not agreed to security measures set out for the derby fixture.
