Fulham’s pre-season friendly against Malaga on Wednesday ends in disorder after the final whistle. Reports say the match features an incident involving a penalty taken against what one account describes as an open goal, alongside a confrontation that escalates after play stops.
The dispute centers on Fulham’s new manager, Álvaro Arbeloa, who is reported to be sent off after the incident. Multiple accounts describe an acrimonious ending in which Fulham walk off following the altercation, turning a scheduled warm-up game into a post-match confrontation.
While the outlets align on the overall outcome—arbeloa’s red card, the ensuing row after the final whistle, and Fulham’s decision to leave—their coverage emphasizes different details of the breakdown in game proceedings, including how the penalty situation unfolded. The reports do not offer a single, fully consistent play-by-play explanation, but they concur that the match concludes amid controversy rather than on-field competition.
