In Spain - an unprecedented football scandal. On Sunday, the match between Madrid's „Rayo Vallecano“ and „Albacete“ in the second division of Spain was interrupted due to the behavior of fans.
It is reported that the home fans insulted the guest team's player, Ukrainian Roman Zozulya, throughout the first half.
It is claimed that the enthusiasts called R.Zozulia a Nazi, as he has expressed support for Russian separatists fighting against his country's armed forces and volunteers. In addition, scandalous photos were found on the Ukrainian's social media account.
„Rayo Vallecano“ fans consider themselves strictly apolitical and are against any form of „politics“.
R.Zozulia did not return to the field after the long break, and the „Albacete“ club officials informed the referee, who stopped the match.
The players of „Albacete“ claimed that during the break R.Zozulia broke down and started crying.
The leaders of Spain's „La Liga 2“ have already taken sanctions, but it is not yet clear what penalties the Madrid club will face.
This was the first time in Spanish football history that a match was interrupted due to fans' behavior towards a player.
