Fulham’s preseason match against Málaga turned out to be not too friendly after the English club walked off and coach Álvaro Arbeloa was shown a red card for complaining to the referees.
The match had finished 2-2, after the La Liga side Málaga FC equalised in the 90th minute.
At full-time, the Premier League outfit walked off the pitch while Málaga stayed on, believing a penalty shootout should decide the winner.
Malaga striker Jauregi then kicked a penalty into an open net before celebrating in front of the home fans.
