Away supporters throwing objects at fans seated in the tier below them may not sound too good but ADO Den Haag fans at Feyenoord proved otherwise. The sides met in the Dutch league on Sunday and during the match Den Haag supporters threw hundreds of cuddly toys on to the Feyenoord supporters below them.

In the buildup to the match, visiting supporters were encouraged to bring soft toys to throw at the home fans and they did not disappoint. The Feyenoord fans on the receiving end were children from Rotterdam’s Sophia Children’s Hospital, the oldest children’s hospital in the Netherlands, who walked on to the pitch with the teams before the kick-off.

“Feyenoord hopes that all children and staff can enjoy a carefree day at De Kuip,” read a statement on the club’s website.

The hosts won 3-1, with the former Liverpool forward Dirk Kuyt scoring for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side, who are top of the table after winning all five of their opening matches. 36-year-old Kuyt celebrated his goal with a ‘dab’ celebration.

In January, Den Haag banned 22 supporters over alleged racial abuse towards the Ajax midfielder Riechedly Bazoer.
