LaLiga has reported incidents of racist and xenophobic abuse directed at Sevilla defender Marcos Acuña and coach Quique Sanchez Flores during a recent league game at Getafe. The abuse, which occurred at the Coliseum, led to LaLiga filing an official complaint with the Anti-Violence Commission and the Spanish football federation (RFEF)'s Competition Committee.
The match was briefly halted in the 68th minute after racist slurs were heard from a section of the crowd, prompting a warning announcement over the stadium tannoy in accordance with LaLiga's anti-racism protocol. Sevilla manager Sanchez Flores revealed in a post-match news conference that he was subjected to derogatory remarks by fans during the game.
