Rayo Vallecano Match Abandoned Amid Protests Against President
Rayo Vallecano's LaLiga match against Athletic Bilbao on October 10 was abandoned after fans protested against club president Raúl Martín Presa. The match, held at the Estadio de Vallecas, was interrupted in the 13th minute with the score at 0-0 when home fans threw paper planes and small rubber balls onto the pitch during an Athletic corner.
Referee José María Sánchez Martínez paused the game to allow for the clearing of objects. Although play resumed, further disruptions occurred, leading to both teams returning to the dressing rooms.
Despite attempts to calm the situation, the match was ultimately abandoned due to continued object-throwing. This incident highlighted ongoing tensions between Rayo supporters and Presa, who has faced criticism regarding stadium conditions and club management.
The match was Rayo's first home game of the LaLiga season after previous matches were relocated due to safety concerns.
