Match abandoned with money in the market

Football, Soccer - whatever you call it. It is the beautiful game.

I had laid the draw on the Goteborg vs Malmo game fairly late on and then a fan decided it would be a good idea to throw a firecracker (quite a nasty looking one actually) at a player warming up on the side of the pitch. This led to the match getting temporarily suspended, with my trade open around 80 minutes in.

I spoke to someone on the Betfair live chat and they said if the match is not replayed within 72 hours all bets/trades are void and refunded which is the answer I was expecting, however after checking the Malmo twitter they have said that the match will go to a "disciplinary committee" to determine the outcome (link to tweet https://twitter.com/Malmo_FF/status/725395659986227201).

As the game was fairly late on, what will happen if the determine that the match ended 0-0 despite there still being a noticeable portion of game time left? I'd be surprised if this did happen, these are 2 of the best teams in Sweden and this was a league match...surely they won't just void 10 minutes off of a match? If they did though, any ideas on what would happen to the trades that were still open?

Where this has happened to me before they re-start the match and it all stands or they don't and the entire market is void.
