When the sport continued, Diakhaby was substituted, whereas Cala remained on the pitch. Both gamers got an yellow card every.

The Valencia assertion says it was Diakhaby who requested his teammates to return to the pitch. But what a press release it might have been if the staff stayed away. Meanwhile the alleged abuser is ready to play on unmolested.
