The Tercera FEB basketball derby between Club Bàsquet Valls and Club Bàsquet Tarragona was overshadowed by an assault in the stands, forcing a game stoppage at the Pavelló Joana Ballart.

The match, which ended with the home team winning 80-75, was marred by an act of violence when a CB Valls supporter assaulted a CBT fan. Footage of the incident, captured from the court, shows the aggressor descending the stairs and kicking a visiting supporter, causing him and several nearby individuals to fall.
