A woman was injured today when she was hit on the head by a seat during the match between Real Sociedad and Málaga on Saturday morning at the Anoeta stadium in San Sebastian.

Concerns raised over Anoeta safety

According to sources at the Red Cross, who had members of their medical team on hand to deal with the situation, the woman apparently had 'a bleeding gouge in her head', after being struck by the chair.

A doctor from the Red Cross treated the woman in the stadium, which involved applying two stitches to the wound, and she did not have to be transferred to a hospital for further attention.

This event comes three days after Zenit St. Petersburg supporters launched flares and pyrotechnic materials from a higher level of the stadium, during the Europa League game against Real Sociedad.
