Athletic Bilbao missed the opportunity to bridge the gap on the first place in the Spanish League, where they were held on a 1-1 draw in Espanyol, which is struggling on Sunday in a match that stopped temporarily due to racist chanting. In the sixteenth minute, referee Cuadra Fernandez was forced to stimulate the anti -racist protocol to the Bilbao Marwan Sanadi striker and his teammate Enaki Williams. The match was boycotted for three minutes, and a message was delivered through the public headline system for the fans to stop screaming on the diaspora.
The referee warned that the next time the match will stop.
“This type of things should not happen. This is not the first time that this happens here. The judgment has been behaved very well. We must punish the perpetrators,” Williams said.
When the match was restarted, Roberto Fernandez Espanyol placed in the 62nd minute, but Oihan Sancet, who scored a trilogy to beat Girona at the end of last week, after 15 minutes.
It was not a satisfactory result of either side.
On Saturday, Bilbao saw the leaders Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, which was ranked second.
Their draw means that they remain in fourth place, three points behind Barcelona, which hosts Rayo Vallecano on Monday and six behind Real.
Espanyol will record the two points but still climb from the landing area. They are now fifteen on 24 points, just one of Valencia, the eighteenth place, the first team in the landing places.
