Disappointed
fans took to the streets in many Dutch cities after Morocco’s 2-0 defeat
against France in the World Cup quarter-finals. Riot police had to intervene in
Amsterdam, Rotterdam, and The Hague, where there was a lot of honking and
fireworks being set off. Multiple people were arrested.
The
Amsterdam police told NOS that the atmosphere during the match was “friendly
and festive.” Most supporters left Plein 40-45 shortly after the match, but
small groups lingered here and there, the spokesperson said.
AT5
reported that the riot police cleared Tussen Meer around 1:30 a.m. The
Amsterdam police arrested eight people for disturbing public order, dangerous
driving, and throwing a brick at a police officer. According to RTL Nieuws,
around 220 fines were issued around Cornelis Lelylaan for running red lights,
driving on tram tracks, and speeding.
The
Rotterdam police told Rijnmond that the atmosphere in the city was “generally
quite good.” Riot police intervened near the 1e Middellandstraat when several
hundred people ignored community fathers’ call to go home.
In The
Hague’s Schilderswijk, police were pelted with glass bottles on and around
Vaillantlaan. Riot police intervened around 1:00 a.m., after which calm
returned.
