Barcelona’s game against Cadiz has been halted due to a medical emergency in the stands.
The Catalan giants were 2-0 up before the match was stopped in the 86th minute, after a medical emergency was spotted inside the stadium. Cadiz goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma ran to fetch some medical kit before sprinting to and chucking it into the stands as both sets of players understood how serious the situation was.
The players have walked off the pitch and are now huddled in the tunnel. The referee informed the stars of both teams the fixture was paused, while the stadium announcer has confirmed that there will be at least a 20 minute delay. A stretcher was also taken into the stands.
Cadiz released the following statement at 7:35pm: “The players head back to the locker room until the situation is resolved, but the game is not yet suspended.”
Frenkie de Jong had put Xavi’s side ahead with an emphatic finish – his first goal of the season. This was all before Robert Lewandowski continued his impressive record in front of goal 10 minutes later as he tucked home.
