The match between SD Eibar and UD Almería, corresponding to the twelfth round of Segunda División, had to be interrupted this Saturday after a fan fell from the stands onto the field of play at the Ipurua stadium while celebrating a goal by the visiting team.
The incident occurred around the 20th minute, coinciding with the celebration of Quim Junyent's goal, which had put the Almerian side ahead. The fall of the spectator forced the game to be stopped to facilitate the intervention of emergency services, while the referee ordered the players to temporarily return to the dressing rooms.
According to Cadena SER, the fan received assistance after plunging onto the grass and later recovered, although for the moment no precise details have emerged about his health condition or the possible injuries suffered.
