A La Liga match ended in scandal. A foreign object was thrown at the referee from the stands

In today's La Liga Matchday 7 fixture, Villarreal secured a 2-1 away victory over Espanyol. However, the game ended amidst controversy.

Details: Following the final whistle, as all participants were leaving the pitch, the match referee, Quintero González, was struck in the chest by a foreign object thrown from the stands.

Fortunately, the referee was unharmed by the incident. Rather than heading directly to the locker room, Quintero González identified the offender and pointed him out to the police.

According to Relevo, the individual who attempted to harm the referee has already been apprehended, and the authorities conducted a briefing with him.

As a consequence of this incident, it is likely that Espanyol will play their next few home matches behind closed doors.

Reminder: Just yesterday, a court issued verdicts to Mallorca fans involved in racist behavior directed towards Real Madrid players.
