Rayo Vallecano vs Athletic Bilbao Match Abandoned After Fan Protests Disrupt PlayPreviousNext

Rayo Vallecano's LaLiga home match against Athletic Bilbao was abandoned after fans protested against club owner Raúl Martín Presa by throwing paper planes and rubber balls onto the pitch. The disruptions began around the 13th minute, leading to multiple stoppages before the referee called off the game with the score at 0-0. Supporters expressed frustration over the club's management and stadium conditions, including a recent temporary closure due to health and safety concerns. The protest highlighted ongoing tensions between fans and club leadership.
