Due to the aftermath of the emotional events during RKC Waalwijk – Ajax and Ajax’s playing schedule, it was impossible to play the remainder of the match this week, the KNVB said on Wednesday. Other options to play the remainder before December 6 have been considered, but those were not feasible due to multiple reasons.
