Spanish game abandoned after alleged racist slurs from crowd




A Spanish third-division game on Saturday was abandoned when a team walked off the pitch in protest at their goalkeeper having faced alleged racial abuse during the game.

Rayo Majadahonda goalkeeper Cheikh Kane Sarr was shown a red card in the 84th minute of the team's match against Sestao River. He was sent off after he approached fans of the opposing team behind his goalpost.

On social media, videos of the altercation show Sarr, who is Senegalese and 23 years old, jumping into the stands but soon being pulled away by other players on the field.

He then told his team about the incident. His Rayo Majadahonda teammates refused to continue the game following the incident. The game was suspended.
