A football hooligan stormed a Dutch Cup match to try and Kung Fu kick the rival team's goalkeeper - who himself was then sent off for flooring his would-be attacker.
Chaos erupted 36 minutes into Ajax's clash with AZ Alkmaar at the Amsterdam Arena stadium last night after the drunk 19-year-old ran onto the pitch.
AZ Alkmaar's Costa Rican keeper Esteban Alvarado spotted him launching his flying kick and skilfully tripped him - before himself launching an attack with a series of kicks.





Security guards dragged the supporter away before referee Bas Nijhuis red carded the keeper for violence. Alkmaar coach Gertjan Verbeek then ordered his side to walk off in protest.
Nijhuis said: '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.'

Ajax was leading the round-of-16 match 1-0 after a goal by Gregory van der Wiel. Attempts to convince Alkmaar to continue were fruitless.
Alkmaar club director Toon Gerbrands said his players 'didn't feel safe any more in this situation'.



Ajax apologised for the security lapse and said the supporter would receive a lifetime ban from games.
Dutch Football Association director Bert van Oostveen said his organisation was considering the incident, but is not certain whether the game will be replayed.
Ajax coach Frank de Boer, a renowned former defender for the Netherlands' national team, said of Alvarado's reaction: 'Maybe I would have done the same thing, maybe not. But emotionally I do understand it.'

stupid drunk asshole and yes according to the rules the goalkeeper gets red.(no matter if the attacker is a player or not)

[Illusion]

That's messed up. A fan comes on to the field to attack a player and could have easily been carrying some kind of weapon. I would have stomped his face with my cleats.

[güttsfükk]

that ref is lucky it was such a big televised match, if that wasnt a televised math in such a big stadium, that ref would've been attacked, guaranteed


i fully support the team's manager's decision to walk off


stupid referees

[collaredgirl65]

Maybe he wasn't justified in having kicked the attacker numerous times, but I do believe that anyone of us, or even that ref, would of done the same.
