La Liga: Match between Espanyol & Athletic Bilbao halted due to alleged racist abuse

Cornella, Feb 17 (UNI) A La Liga match between Espanyol and Athletic Bilbao was briefly halted on Sunday afternoon after an Athletic player was allegedly subjected to racist abuse by fans.
During the first half, Athletic forward Iñaki Williams informed referee Guillermo Cuadra Fernández that supporters of the home team had abused his teammate Maroan Sannadi, whose parents are Moroccan, according to a CNN report.
The referee responded by activating the league’s anti-racism protocol, whereby the game was stopped, and a message was played to supporters warning them that it would be abandoned if the abuse did not stop. A message condemning racist, xenophobic and homophobic abuse was also displayed on the large screen inside Stage Front Stadium.
