The teenage Ajax supporter who attacked AZ goalkeeper Esteban Alvarado during last week\u2019s KNVB Beker clash between the two sides has been sentenced to six months in jail.<\/p>\n
The 19-year-old assailant, known only as Wesley W. during the trial, entered the field of play 36 minutes into the game at the Amsterdam ArenA and aimed a kung-fu kick at Alvarado.<\/p>\n
The latter then retaliated and, after his attacker had been restrained by security, was then dismissed by referee Bas Nijhuis, much to the disgust of AZ coach Gertjan Verbeek, who ordered his players off, thus forcing the abandonment of the game.<\/p>\n
Wesley W. was found guilty of “aggravated assault with premeditated malice” at an Amsterdam court on Thursday and sentenced to six months imprisonment, with the final two months of the term suspended.<\/p>\n
Alvarado\u2019s dismissal was rescinded last week by the KNVB, which on Wednesday confirmed that the game will be replayed in full behind closed doors on January 19.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
