The match on the 16th day of La Liga between Granada and Athletic Bilbao was stopped on Sunday December 10 following the death of an Andalusian supporter during the match which was being played at the Nuevo Los Carmenes stadium. The match was stopped after 18 minutes of play with the score 1-0 in favor of the Basques, with La Liga subsequently confirming that it would not resume “due to the sad death of a supporter”.

La Liga and the two clubs “agreed to suspend the match”, said Athletic Bilbao in a press release, which offered its condolences to the relatives of the deceased. The Spanish Football Federation announced in the evening that the match would resume Monday December 11, at 9 p.m., in the 17th minute.

Grenade specifies that it is one of its subscribers. On the pitch, Athletic goalkeeper Unai Simon attracted the attention of his staff when he saw the commotion in the stands, which prompted doctors from both clubs to go to the supporter, also reports Marca.
