Local broadcasts in Spain are presumed to be a cessation of the game due to racial discrimination against Cadiz player.
[골닷컴] Reporter Bashion = During the Valencia-Cadiz La Liga match, a brief interruption occurred.
Valencia played Cadiz in Round 29 of the Primera Liga in the 2020/21 season at the Ramon de Caransa Stadium on the 4th (local time). In the 19th minute after Juan Carla’s opening goal in the first half of the 14th minute, Kevin Gameiro scored again in the first half.

But in the first 32 minutes, something unexpected happened. Valencia defender Mukhtar Diakabi and Cadiz’s Juan Carla competed. After that, it seemed okay, but the two players had a few conversations, and Diakabi eventually raised his voice in the process.
The referee gave Diakabi a warning, and Gabriel Paulista also calmed Diakabi. But the situation did not improve. Infuriated Diakabi eventually left the stadium, and accordingly, the Valencia squad, who started and played the game, also followed Diakabi to the stadium.
With the Valencia team all leaving the stadium, the game was suspended for a while. Cadiz’s Negredo spoke with Valencia coaches, but the game didn’t last long.

After the game was stopped for about 15 minutes, the Valencia squad reappeared. However, Diakabi did not show up. The match started from the 29th minute of the first half as Ugo Giyamon stepped on the ground instead of Diakabi. It took a total of 30 minutes before the game was stopped and resumed.
It is cautious to guess at a situation where the exact details of the incident are not yet known. However, according to a local broadcaster in Spain, Diacabi is speculated that the reason Diacabi refused to play in such an enraged manner was because he heard racist remarks.
