Reports indicate that the review was delayed due to the Spanish Football Federation’s regulations, which require clubs to submit statements by 2:00 p.m. on the second working day after the match. However, because the preceding Monday was a public holiday in several Spanish regions, the deadline was extended to Wednesday, 4 November, at 2:00 p.m.Tags: [RFEF Regulations, Statement Deadline, Public Holiday, Case Delay]
Meanwhile, last Wednesday the Spanish professional football competition judge ruled that the match would be officially recorded as a 2-2 draw, despite there being 2 minutes remaining when the game was halted due to the violent incident.Tags: [Match Result, Football Judge, Game Suspension, Violent Incident]
