Standard Liege v Royal Antwerp abandoned after cup hits referee
Standard Liege’s Belgian Pro League match against Royal Antwerp was abandoned in the 87th minute after the referee was hit by a cup thrown by a fan.
Standard were leading 1-0 when the cup hit referee Lothar D’hondt, who then blew his whistle to end the game at Stade Maurice Dufrasne on Friday.
The league said the match will resume behind closed doors on Monday at 14:00 BST “for the final minutes of play”.
Standard Liege said the supporter who threw the cup had been identified.
“The club will initiate civil stadium ban proceedings against him, as well as an action for compensation,” they said in a statement.
