Vitesse Leads Fourth-Period Race in Week of Police Hunt and Emergency Disruptions

Wins in the final two matches would lock in a promotion play-off berth for the Arnhem club.

Overview

  • Vitesse sits first in the fourth period, a late-season block in the Eerste Divisie that grants a promotion play-off spot to the period winner.
  • The club will host MVV in GelreDome with extra seating opened to admit roughly nineteen thousand fans.
  • Captain Alexander Büttner says upper-leg pain makes his status uncertain for the MVV match and he will only play if fully fit.
  • Police are searching for a suspect who robbed two cash-in-transit workers at gunpoint in a Rotterdam-Kralingen supermarket and took a money cassette, and they urged people to call 112 rather than approach him.
  • Overnight, a fire destroyed the Special Search Dog Team and Dogs Sports 4All club building, and a separate lorry rollover closed the A1-to-A50 slip road near Beekbergen.
