GRANADA, Dec 12 — The captains of Granada and Athletic Bilbao laid flowers at the seat of a fan who died during their match at the weekend as the teams completed the remainder of the Spanish league game yesterday.
The game was initially suspended in the 17th minute on Sunday as paramedics tried to resuscitate Granada season ticket holder Antonio Trujillo Izquierdo after he suffered a cardiac arrest and it was eventually abandoned an hour later.
Players wore black T-shirts during a minute’s silence before the game resumed from the 17th minute on Monday with Bilbao leading 1-0 through Inaki Williams’s sixth-minute goal.
Granada equalised in the second-half due to an own goal by Inigo Ruiz de Galarreta and the match ended 1-1. — Reuters
