The 19-year-old attacker jumped with a straight leg and a backward movement with his arm towards Brown and hit Brown in the leg. However, Brown managed to repel the attack altogether, causing the attacker to fall to the ground. Brown then kicked the man on the floor twice with his foot before stewards rushed to get the man under their control. Brown was sent off by the referee for his red card action. After unsuccessful protests by his team, the coach of AZ Alkmaar, Gertjan Verbeek , decided to call the players and supervisors of his team from the field, they left the interior of the stadium. The referee then stopped the game. After the demolition, there were street battles in Amsterdam between hooligans and the police.
