Overview
- The friendly at La Rosaleda finished 2-2 after a stoppage-time penalty by Eneko Jauregi that was awarded for a handball by Fulham defender Calvin Bassey.
- Fulham manager Álvaro Arbeloa was shown a red card after the final whistle for angrily protesting the decision, and his players then walked off the pitch instead of taking a planned penalty shootout.
- Málaga players and officials remained, took penalties into an empty net, celebrated and were declared winners of the Costa del Sol Trophy.
- Fulham issued a statement saying both clubs had agreed there would be no shootout in the event of a draw while Málaga published a contradictory statement saying a shootout had been scheduled.
- Media reports said Fulham risked missing a return flight if the shootout went ahead which intensified the dispute, and the incident has drawn boos from about 17,000 fans and viral video coverage that will likely prompt clarification from organisers and the clubs.
