Real game abandoned

Real Madrid’s Primera Liga match against Real Sociedad was abandoned on Sunday with the scores level at 1-1 after police received a warning that a bomb would explode at the stadium at 2000 GMT. Close to 70,000 fans together with players and officials from both clubs evacuated the Bernabeu stadium a short time after the warning was received.

Spanish media reported that Basque newspaper Gara had received a phone call in the name of Basque separatist group ETA.

They also reported that a small rucksack had been found by the police in one of the upper tiers of the stadium. No explosion was reported to have taken place at the stadium and it was not immediately clear if the result of the match would stand. Real took the lead just before the break when Ronaldo cracked home with his left foot. Sociedad levelled the match midway through the second half when Turkish striker smashed home with an acrobatic finish.
