This article also fails to tell the whole story. There were still riots days later when the Maccabi fans have left already. The following article seems to be balanced.

Yes, you are right. For more in-depth coverage and analysis, take a look at the article in this post: https://lemmy.ml/post/22677649
MSM is garbage propaganda.
Inclusive of this publication.
“There’s only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people’s cultures and the Dutch.” – Nigel Powers
Schmoke and a pancake?
Bong and a crepe?
Bong and a blintz! That’s the best one :D
Then there’s no pleasing you!
Daily more stuff comes out. Like the fans against the taxi drivers, turns out the taxi drivers instigated, maybe because of the flag incident the day before… who knows yet. The investigation is in full swing. But then no need for truth when there is a narrative to be sold… By both sides!
Regardless of what specifically happened, the tension in Dutch society surrounding marrokan youths might have gotten the final nudge by the last few days. This is the thing our current government has probably been waiting on to use it as a cudgel to enact some harsh laws.
We’re talking people who are 3rd and 4th generation after migration to the Netherlands who might get their passports revoked and deported. The fact that the marrokan law states you are always Marokkan and have a passport makes this possible.
Regardless of how you feel about the whole string of incidents, fanning the flames from the outside will make things a lot worse. And I don’t mean for the Maccabi supporters.
Don’t forget that they don’t call these people Dutch. They like a to pretend they’re “guests” in the country.
Well these kids say that about themselves too.
And the stuff that came out today about the telegram groups of these guys, talking about hunting Jews.
It’s shitty all around. No one needs to tell me soccer supporters are grade A assholes (Yess all of them) all soccer matches should feature a post match ability for all supporters to go onto the pitch and we should televise that on pay per view to balance the budget.
