Referee Clos Gomez halted Granada's home game with Mallorca after one of his assistants was struck by an object thrown from the crowd.
Assistant referee Aguilar Rodriguez was lining up for a Mallorca corner when his cheek was immediately bloodied after being hit by an umbrella thrown from the crowd. Referee Clos Gomez called an immediate halt to the action and took his assistants, Aguilar Rodriguez and Marco Martinez, with him, abandoning the game not long after. The umbrella appeared to be thrown from the home fans, who minutes earlier had been celebrating their side turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 advantage. The incident occurred just after Granada had taken a 2-1 lead through a goal scored by Carlos Martins. He left the field to celebrate the goal with a pre-made t-shirt, was then booked for a foul on Tomas Pina, and the trouble erupted shortly after with Rodriguez being hit in the face by an umbrella. Granada coach Fabricio Gonzalez said "We are in a state of shock. Our fans have always helped us and this is a pity."
The disciplinary committee of the RFEF will meet this week to decide what action to take. The most recent incidents have seen the offending club either penalised with the loss of the game or the remaining minutes being played behind closed doors.
