The Spanish second division match was abandoned at half-time, a decision agreed upon by both clubs who subsequently requested that referee José Antonio López Toca bring a game to a halt.The incident itself involved banners and chanting by one section of Rayo Vallecano’s support, in particular, directed at Zozulya — now plying his trade at Albacete.Rayo’s fans chanted “p*ta Nazi” (“f***ing Nazi” in English) at Zozulya throughout the match, obviously as a reference to the reasoning behind their original opposition to the Ukrainian’s signing two years prior.It was the first instance in the history of Spanish football that a game had to be suspended due to offensive chanting.As a result of the COVID-19 crisis, both sides were made to wait a further six months (179 days) before finishing the game they had started in December.
