Until before the duel was suspended, Betis had dominated the match against a Sevilla side severely depleted by injuries. What was a fact is that the Royal Spanish Football Federation condemned the act of violence and called on all its fans to follow the rules and respect the players on the field. So far it is not known what will happen with this suspended duel, since the other games of the day were played normally. However, the act of violence that occurred in the stadium deprived the player of this possibility. When the line-ups were announced, Corona's nickname "Tecatito" was among the names of the substitutes, so his debut was a possibility. The coach had said that they hoped to count on Corona for this match and although it was not a certainty that the Mexican would make his debut in this duel, the suspension of the match canceled that possibility. The player was not only called up for the match but was also on the substitutes' bench, echoing the statements made yesterday by Julen Lopetegui, Sevilla's coach.

The worst thing was that the action occurred just when the visiting team had already achieved a draw in the match, which ended with a 1-1 score.
