The record of Busquets Ferrer where he explained what had caused the delay of the meeting at the beginning of the second afternoon. It literally says that “in the 64th minute from the low end of the south, several objects were thrown at the area where the visiting goalkeeper was, without any of them hitting him. Among them, three lighters and a bottle of water can be identified. Due to this fact, the protocol for throwing objects was activated, requiring the field delegate to continue to communicate the message through the stadium loudspeakers to stop said throwing. In the 65th minute, said throwing of objects from the same place was repeated, the protocol was activated again, and the field delegate was again warned to report this fact again. Finally, in the 67th minute and given the continuous repetition of objects thrown from the same area, the match was temporarily suspended. ordering equipment to be removed from locker rooms.
The captains and delegates of both teams, LaLiga directors, security coordinators, and federation delegates gather in the locker room to inform them of the situation, warning that if the said throws are repeated, the game will definitely be suspended.
The security coordinator needs to guarantee the safety of the participants in order for the match to continue. This tells us that the atmosphere has calmed down and we can continue with it.
Takes the field 14 minutes later and resumes 17 minutes later from the stop. The fight continues without new incidents.
We can see why the basis is in article 15 related to the responsibility of the clubs of the Disciplinary Code where it says that “when on the occasion of a match the order is changed, the physical integrity of the referees, the players are disabled or at risk, the club organizing the match will be liable, unless it proves diligent compliance with its obligations and the adoption of preventive measures required by sports law to prevent such events or mitigate their severity.
And on the second point he added that “To determine the seriousness of the facts, concurrent circumstances will be considered, such as the doing or not of damages; the appreciation of the obvious danger that may arise, unless the diligence of the organizer intervenes in its avoidance; the influence of incidents on the normal development of the game; the presence or absence of priors; the greater or lesser number of people involved; and, in general, all others reasonably considered by the disciplinary body, also specifically qualified as factors determining the seriousness, the passive or negligent attitude of the club organization or its lack of readiness to recognize and make available to the competent authority the protagonists of the incidents and, in other words, the level of compliance with the legal and regulatory obligations that the organizer has in terms of preventing violence in sports facilities.”
IF you consider it very serious, especially because the match is delayed for more than ten minutes, you are exposed to the total closure of the stadium with a fine between 6,000 and 18,000 euros according to article 76, which says the following: “total closure of the sports venue for a period from one match to one season. Also, when the causative event occurs in a sector or stand, the sanction of partial closure of the sports venue may be imposed, assessing the concurrent circumstances and the seriousness of the events for the same period of time expressed in the previous paragraph, the penalty of partial closure needs to be concrete and clear.
Provided that the object is thrown in a very specific place, the stands can be partially closed according to Article 107 regarding changing the order of the match of a serious nature, which states that “When, on the occasion of a match , originated events as defined in article 15 of this ordinance, and classified by the judge as serious according to the rules set for the required rule in section 2, and this is the first time in the season, the responsible club will be penalized with a fine of up to 6,000 euros and partial closure of sports facilities for a match,”
As we say, it is only until Wednesday when the RFEF Disciplinary Committee meets and the sanction can be determined. Where it seems difficult to determine the closing warning, although it is not ruled out that he decided to gather more information as happened in throwing the thing at the referee in Espanyol – Villarreal and that will also be decided this coming Wednesday.
