The referee called the game off as black smoke billowed from the pitch and stewards wrestled a protesting fan to the floor.
Groningen's relegation was confirmed last Sunday when they drew 1-1 at Go Ahead Eagles. The club will play in the Dutch second tier next season for the first time since 1998-99.
