Medical emergency involving young girl saw RM's game with Elche halted

The first half was very close to its end when Karim Benzema kicked the ball out of play. Several players called for the match to be stopped because of commotion in the stands. There was a medical emergency and it was the second of the evening after Real Sociedad's clash with Mallorca started 13 minutes late for the same reason. 

According to 'DAZN' commentators, the victim was young girl. It is not known what happened to her although it did not seem anything serious as the girl was able to go down the stairs herself. She was with the medics and the police.

However, just after the cameras cut away from the stands, it seemed like she started feeling unwell again and she stopped and sat on the stairs she was going down. In the end, a policeman helped her down them so she could receive treatment.

The encounter was stopped for slightly over three minutes. The players took advantage by having a drink and going to their benches before referee Gil Manzano, after seeing the authorities getting involved, decided to resume the contest.
