(Reuters) - Sevilla's Argentina defender Marcos Acuna and coaching staff were the target of "racist and xenophobic insults" from fans in the 1-0 LaLiga win at Getafe on Saturday, the club said.

Referee Iglesias Villanueva stopped the match in the 68th minute as part of LaLiga's protocol against racism.
