Suspended Rayo-Athletic match will finish on 9 December
The remaining 77 minutes will be played behind closed doors, with Rayo covering Athletic's costs, and kick-off is set for 20:00.
Rayo Vallecano and Athletic Club now know when they will finish the match suspended on 10 October: it will resume on 9 December at 20:00. According to MARCA, the 77 minutes left will be played behind closed doors, and the Madrid club will cover the costs Athletic would have faced.
The game was halted with less than 15 minutes played, after a mass throw of silicone balls during a coordinated protest by local fans against the management of president RaĂșl MartĂn Presa.
The clubs considered playing the next day, but security concerns ruled it out, as Madrid had other events with heavy police deployment that day. The match has been set for the third UEFA date available, leaving the week of 4 November free in case of Copa fixtures.
For Rayo, the game falls between the home match against Levante and the trip to Villarreal. Athletic will play it between hosting Real Madrid at San Mamés and the visit to Deportivo La Coruña at Riazor.
