Villarreal's La Liga match at home to Celta Vigo was halted shortly before the final whistle and delayed by about half an hour after what appeared to be a teargas canister was thrown on to the pitch on Saturday.
Celta were leading 1-0 at the Madrigal thanks to Fabián Orellana and there were about three minutes left when the canister, which local media said contained tear gas, landed near the visitors' goal and began spewing out a thick cloud of white smoke.
The players, some of whom were clearly suffering from the effects of the gas, retreated inside the stadium and fans quickly left the ground, with many covering their mouths and noses and in obvious distress.
The match was eventually restarted in an almost empty arena and Celta forward Nolito made it 2-0 from a free kick in the 90th minute.
The result meant Villarreal missed a chance to close to within a point of fourth-placed Athletic Bilbao.
TV replays could not locate the person who threw the device. "I don't know who it was, but these things can't happen in our house," the Villarreal midfielder Bruno Soriano said. "I hope the person is found."
