The fans had been warning of what was going to happen in Vallecas as a protest against the management of the club, and that was the case. The shouts of "Presa, listen to the fans" or "Martín Presa, get out of Vallecas" did not stop at any time. But everything exploded in the 13th minute, when the fans began to throw paper airplanes on the grass. They not only came from that "fan sector" that the president considers to be the only one dissatisfied with his management, but also from the other two stands in Vallecas, which forced the game to be paralyzed for almost 10 minutes.

Once the thrown objects were collected, the game resumed, but there was no time other than to take a corner, because the protest started up again, accompanied by new shots. It was then that, without a second's hesitation, Sánchez Martínez raised his arms and stopped the match between Rayo Vallecano and Athletic Club, with the players leaving the field of play.

More than 20 minutes after the first break, the Madrid club reported over the public address system that the match had resumed, while Isi and Cárdenas tried to talk to the fans located at the back of the Vallecas Stadium. "Let the three stands be one following the protests," read the statement that was distributed among all those attending the meeting. And so it was.

It resumed, but the ball did not roll for a minute and the fund again launched the paper airplanes that had been distributed. Once again, the match was paralyzed, while the back of the stands continued without lowering their arms, this time with songs of encouragement to the team and the neighborhood, to which the rest of the stadium timidly joined.

Open Questions

  • Will there be disciplinary sanctions for the club or the fans?
  • How will the board respond to the demands of the followers?
