Espanyol went on to win 2-0 after the protest took place

Oviedo and Espanyol players refused to move for the first 15 seconds of their match on Friday as the teams staged a protest at La Liga's decision to host a game in Miami.

In August, the Spanish football federation (RFEF) approved plans to move Villarreal's fixture against Barcelona to the Hard Rock Stadium on 20 December - a decision which has sparked discontent in Spain.

The Spanish Footballers' Association (AFE) said in a statement they had coordinated with the captains of each La Liga club to "protest symbolically" against the league's "lack of transparency, dialogue and coherence".

La Liga refuted the accusations
