(Reuters) - A Spanish second division match between Rayo Vallecano and Albacete that was abandoned at halftime on Dec. 15 after a player was subjected to 'Nazi' chants will resume behind closed doors, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) said on Friday.

Albacete forward Roman Zozulya was targeted by chants from Rayo supporters, leading the referee to abandon the game, marking the first time in Spanish football history that a match was abandoned due to offensive chanting.
