Espanyol and Elche played to a 2-2 draw in a Spanish league match that was briefly halted after Espanyol’s Omar El Hilali accused Elche’s Rafa Mir of racial insults. The referee paused the game for three minutes around the 80th minute after El Hilali reported derogatory terms used by Mir. Mir later equalized for Elche with a penalty in the 90th minute, extending both teams’ winless streaks. Elche remains just above the relegation zone, while Espanyol has not won in nine league games.
