After recording a 1-0 away win over NEC to climb to sixth in the Eredivisie table, Vitesse players went over to celebrate with their traveling contingent at the Goffertstadion in Nijmegen, Netherlands.
Bouncing in unison, a segment at the bottom of the stand suddenly collapsed in the center, sending supporters tumbling toward the rift while players watched on in horror.
