The referee’s report has given more details around the alleged racist incident during Valencia’s match at Cadiz on Sunday.

The La Liga game was temporarily halted after a first-half confrontation and verbal exchange between Valencia’s Mouctar Diakhaby and Cadiz’s Juan Cala prompted the visiting team to walk off the pitch.

Valencia’s players then held a meeting before concluding the match “in order to fight for the honour of the club, but denounce racism of any kind”.

Cala will address the media on Tuesday, but told Spanish channel Gol on Monday he is “very relaxed” about the allegations, while Cadiz have said the club “do not doubt the honesty of all members of our squad”.

Meanwhile, Valencia’s club president Anil Murthy has called for La Liga to undergo a full investigation, adding “Valencia CF will defend Mouctar Diakhaby to the fullest”.
