The Andalusian referee wrote up what happened on the field of play in his match minutes.

"In the 18th minute of the game I had to approach the field delegate to tell him that the shouts from the stands of: 'Greenwood, die' should stop. It was communicated over the public address system that the insults towards the player should stop, and they did not occur again."
