A number of smoke bombs were thrown onto the pitch, while a Groningen fan was also seen being wrestled to the ground by security.
Groningen were relegated to the Dutch second tier with a 1-1 draw at Go Ahead Eagles last week, and today’s game was their first at home since being sent down.
It’s thought the home supporters were protesting against the state of affairs at the club.
Play was initially stopped on six minutes before being resumed after a short delay.
But smoke bombs continued to be launched onto the playing surface.
Referee Jeroen Manschot then halted the game again, and the match was officially abandoned soon after.
