The match between “Leicester City” and its guest, “Crystal Palace” in the Premier League, was suspended for some time, with the aim of allowing one of the players to break their fast.
The English referee, Graham Scott, stopped the meeting in the 34th minute of the first half, coinciding with the sunset call to prayer, so that Leicester City player, French Wesley Fofana, could have breakfast, where he drank water and juices.
