Granada vs Athletic Club suspended after fan dies in stands

December 11 – The La Liga game between Granada and Athletic Club was abandoned at the weekend after a home fan died.

Inaki Williams had put Athletic ahead before the match was halted in the 17th minute after a Granada fan suffered a cardiac arrest.

Granada said the fan had been a season ticket holder for 16 years. No further details were given and the match will restart tonight night from the 17th minute to avoid further changes to the calendar going forward.

Athletic goalkeeper Unai Simón rushed to get the referee’s attention after Granada fans told him about the problem with one of the supporters at Los Cármenes Stadium.

The match continued for about five minutes when it was finally stopped again as doctors continued to work on the fan. Team doctors left their benches to try to help.
