Ceuta–Almería Match Suspended at Halftime After Spectator’s Death

The league will reschedule the second half following a lottery ruling that records the 1–1 score as a draw.

Overview

  • Play was halted around the 17th minute when a fan suffered a cardiorespiratory arrest, with Red Cross medics performing resuscitation before the supporter was evacuated.
  • The referee suspended the Segunda División match at the break after the death was confirmed, with the score level at 1–1 at Estadio Alfonso Murube.
  • Loterías y Apuestas del Estado applied La Quiniela’s Rule 40 and set the betting outcome as an X, using the 1–1 score because the match would not resume within 24 hours.
  • Local reports identified the deceased as 73-year-old Manolo Carreto, a retired harbour commissioner known in Ceuta.
  • AD Ceuta, UD Almería, and LaLiga issued condolences, and LaLiga said it will announce the date to resume the fixture.
