Barcelona: Spanish third-tier side Rayo Majadahonda refused to finish a match against Sestao River on Saturday after their goalkeeper Cheikh Kane Sarr faced off with fans who were allegedly racially abusing him.
The Senegalese goalkeeper, 23, was sent off in the 84th minute after remonstrating with one supporter behind his goal and his team decided not to keep playing, eventually walking off, with the game then postponed.
"Our team will not come out to restart the game after our player received unacceptable racist insults," wrote Rayo Majadahonda on social media network X.
"It's an absolute disgrace what happened today... a section of the stadium spitting out racist insults at our team-mate Cheikh Sarr, for the colour of his skin," said Rayo captain Jorge Casado on Instagram.
"In addition, the RFEF (Spanish football federation) trying to oblige us to go out and finish the game.
