IJsselmeervogels defender Quiermo Dumay returned to football after he was struck in the jaw during the 12 September match against GVVV. The reports identified the alleged assailant as GVVV assistant coach Jhon van Beuker, though one report gave his name as Jhon Beuker.

Dumay made an appearance for IJsselmeervogels the previous Saturday and then played the entire second half when the match, which had been halted in September, was completed on Tuesday. GVVV won the resumed match 3-0.
