BARCELONA, Jan 16: The Copa del Rey derby match between Real Betis and Sevilla was suspended after an object hurled from the stands hit Sevilla player Joan Jordán in the head on Saturday.
The oblong-shaped object similar to a bar impacted Jordán while Betis was celebrating Nabil Fekir’s 39th-minute equalizer that canceled out Papu Gómez’s opener at Benito Villamarín Stadium.
Jordán went down immediately, holding his head. He was quickly back on his feet but was helped to walk off the pitch just before the teams were ordered by the referee Ricardo de Burgos to follow.
After a wait of over 20 minutes, the game was officially suspended by the Spanish football federation. The federation said “it condemns all acts of violence on the playing field.” While that decision was being made, police officers were seen in the area of the stands where the object apparently came from. No date to continue the match was immediately announced. (AP)
