New projectile throw on a player. And it’s not in France this time, but on the other side of the Pyrenees.
While the Seville derby between Betis and FC had started for 40 minutes, as part of the knockout stages of the King’s Cup, Joan Jordan collapsed on the lawn, holding his head.
And for good reason: while Betis had just equalized, through the Frenchman Nabil Fekir on a direct corner, the Spanish midfielder was going to get back on his feet when he received a projectile from the stands, which seems to be an iron bar or plastic as per TV pictures.
The player then got up, before the referee grabbed the object and, given the seriousness of the facts, decided to stop the match.
