Rayo fans stop game in Spain

Rayo fans forced a suspension of their team’s match against Athletic Bilbao by repeatedly throwing paper airplanes and other objects onto the field in protest against club owner Raúl Martín Presa.

It was Rayo’s first league game of the season at home since city authorities initially closed the stadium over safety concerns. Presa has long been unpopular among Rayo fans since taking over the club in 2011.
