MADRID, Jan. 18 (SportsFinding) –
The game scheduled for this Saturday at 9:00 pm between Mirandés and Real Zaragoza has been suspended due to the abundant rain fallen on Anduva's lawn, which did not allow the ball to roll to celebrate the 24th day of LaLiga SmartBank.
The referee of the Basque committee Gorka Sagués Oscoz followed the protocol of these cases and went out twice to check the behavior of the ball on the waterlogged lawn of Miranda de Ebro. At 20 hours, the ball did not roll or dribble. Sagués Oscoz again checked the condition of the turf at 20:30, together with the delegates of the two teams, and his decision was to suspend the game.
For Zaragoza it is the third game suspended from its scheduled time this season, after the sixth day against Fuenlabrada, due to food poisoning in the Madrid squad, and the day 22 against Sporting, due to the flu that affected most of the Asturian workforce.
“We have left it to the referee. We are nobody to decide. If it had been considered that it could be played, we would have played. Zaragoza still had clearer that it did not want to play,” said Andoni Iraola, Mirandés coach, in statements to Goal.

“If we want to protect the show, the field was impracticable. It did not meet the conditions. It has been the wisest decision on the part of the referee and everyone. It is the third game that we are suspended but nothing can be done,” said Victor Fernandez, coach of the hands.
