Overview
- Referee Iosu Galech Apezteguia paused play around the 78th minute for about three minutes after Omar El Hilali reported racist language by Rafa Mir.
- The post-match report notes an alleged anti-immigrant slur, which the officiating team said they did not hear directly.
- La Liga issued a statement condemning racist acts, while Elche urged caution in the absence of evidence.
- The game resumed and ended 2-2, with Mir converting a 90th-minute penalty, extending winless runs for both clubs.
- The protocol use follows a recent Champions League case involving Vinícius Júnior and Gianluca Prestianni, which led to a provisional one-match suspension pending investigation.
