Sevilla's Copa del Rey quarter-final with crosstown rival Real Betis was abandoned in the second half on Wednesday after Sevilla coach Juande Ramos was knocked unconscious by a plastic bottle thrown from the crowd.
Catalan station TV3 showed the bottle, which contained liquid and ice, hitting Ramos on the left side of his head.
The coach, who stumbled before falling to the ground, was carried off on a stretcher but regained consciousness soon afterward, Betis doctor Tomas Calero told radio station Cadena SER.
Ramos was taken to a hospital and will remain under observation for at least 12 hours.
"He's calm. He's now feeling better. He's conscious and talking. We're all with him and we're all calmer," Sevilla's sports director Ramon "Monchi" Rodriguez said.
The incident occurred shortly after Sevilla took a 1-0 lead in the 59th minute on a goal by Frederic Kanoute.
Play was halted and some spectators left Betis' Manuel Ruiz de Lopera stadium before the announcement that the match had been suspended.
However, some Betis fans threw stones at an ambulance which entered the stadium for Ramos, resulting in riot police having to clear the area, the station added.

After all, it is difficult to overlook a team that not only continues to extend their lead in the National League Central, but also boasts the best record in the majors. “What we’re doing in here right now is special,” right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta said after allowing only four hits and one run in five innings, while setting a career high with
