Athletic Club left waiting after Rayo Vallecano match abandoned
Story updated
The story in brief
26-second readRayo Vallecano’s match against Athletic Club was abandoned after supporters repeatedly threw paper planes and small balls onto the pitch during protests against president Raúl Martín Presa.
Mundo Deportivo reported on Monday, October 12, that the first objects appeared in the 13th minute and that referee José María Sánchez Martínez ultimately ordered the teams off after the protest resumed.
The interruption leaves Athletic with another rearranged fixture in a season already disrupted by postponements. The club’s delegation returned to Bilbao after LaLiga decided the match would not be played later that day or on Sunday, October 11.
