Granada's LaLiga match against Athletic Bilbao was abandoned following the death of a home fan at the Estadio Nuevo los Carmenes, while Girona later moved back top of the table with a stunning 4-2 win at Catalan rivals Barcelona.
Bilbao went ahead through an early goal from Inaki Williams, before the game was stopped after around 15 minutes when officials were alerted to a problem in the stands.
