The hooligan who attacked AZ goalkeeper Esteban Alvarado will not be able to approach the stadium of the Ajax club in Amsterdam for 30 years.
The 19-year-old boy ran onto the field during the Netherlands Cup match in Amsterdam and tried to hit Alvarado. Not only did Alvarado defend himself, but he also significantly kicked the attacker. However, he was soon removed from the field for this, but the federation did not apply any suspension, ensuring that the referee acted according to the rules.
The match was interrupted, as AZ players refused to return to the field due to security concerns. The outcome of the game is likely to be replayed, although a final decision has not yet been made.
According to reports, the attacker, who had previously clashed with security, had been banned from entering the stadium before the incident, but he obtained a ticket through another person. He has been identified and will be held accountable.
At the moment, the boy is in custody, as the judicial committee has allowed him to be held behind bars for another two weeks. Alvarado has pressed charges against him.
