A LaLiga match between Getafe and Alaves was temporarily halted on Saturday due to unacceptable chanting from a section of home fans directed at Mason Greenwood.
The offensive behavior, which included death threats against the Manchester United player, prompted referee Jorge Figueroa Vazquez to suspend the game 18 minutes from full-time.
In response to the incident, a stadium announcement was made, urging fans to cease their chanting. Following the warning, the offensive chants subsided, and the referee resumed play minutes later.
Despite the brief interruption, Getafe ultimately lost the match 1-0, leaving them in 11th place in the Spanish top flight. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation and highlights the need for greater respect and sportsmanship in football.
The swift action taken by the referee and stadium officials to address the situation is commendable and demonstrates a commitment to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all players and fans.
