The Copa del Rey derby between Real Betis and Sevilla was suspended on Saturday after an object from the stands struck Sevilla's Joan Jordán on the head. The object appeared to be a plastic flagpole.
The match will resume on Sunday behind closed doors at 3pm GMT, the Spanish federation announced. It said the decision to keep the game at the Benito Villamarín stadium, without fans, was to avoid major logistical challenges and to prevent further incidents.
Jordán was hit while Betis were celebrating Nabil Fekir's 39th-minute equaliser. He went down holding his head but was helped off the pitch before the referee ordered both teams to leave the field. After a 20-minute delay, the game was officially suspended.
Spanish media reported that the person who threw the object was taken into custody. The Seville derby is known for intense rivalry; in 2007, Sevilla coach Juande Ramos was knocked unconscious by a bottle thrown by a Betis fan.
Earlier in the match, Papu Gómez had given Sevilla the lead in the 35th minute, but Fekir levelled with a direct corner kick that looped over goalkeeper Alfonso Pastor. The incident marred what had been a vibrant contest.
