Dutch FA vows to punish Ajax fans for Cup final violence


(Reuters) - Ajax Amsterdam fans who threw fireworks on to the pitch which led to Sunday's Dutch Cup final against PEC Zwolle to be halted twice will be punished, Dutch FA (KNVB) director Bert van Oostveen said.

PEC Zwolle's sensational 5-1 win over the favourites was marred by the violent scenes which were described as "unacceptable" and "scandalous" by van Oostveen and Ajax coach Frank de Boer respectively.
