Granada, Real Mallorca abandoned

The La Liga fixture between Granada and Real Mallorca has been abandoned after the referee's assistant was struck by a missile.

The object, reportedly an umbrella, struck the linesman on the head, causing a blood injury.

Following the incident all match officials left the field of play and refused to return.

Hosts Granada led the match at the time of the postponement, with goals from Carlos Martins and Guilherme Siqueira cancelling out an early strike from Mallorca's Víctor Casadesus.
