The match between RWDM and Eupen was interrupted and then stopped this Sunday evening, following firecrackers thrown by Molenbeek supporters. When the match was stopped, Eupen led 0-1, goal from Renaud Emond.
A match which must come to an end and which must be played this Monday or Tuesday behind closed doors, as stipulated in the new Pro League regulations: “When the referee definitively stops the match because of verbal violence (resumed chorus) and/or incidents off the field of play in professional football, the match continues behind closed doors, from the minute the stoppage occurred and with the score at the time of the stoppage. When such an interruption is decided, the match resumes on the Monday or Tuesday following the championship day on which the match was abandoned.“.
This regulation was made to avoid giving too much power to supporters who could, through their behavior, precipitate the defeat of their team on the green carpet. We remember the match between Charleroi and Mechelen in November 2022. The Carolos were leading 1-0, Carolos fans decided to permanently interrupt the game by throwing smoke bombs and Sporting lost the match on the green carpet.
