World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reported22m ago
The Málaga football club was declared the winner of the Trofeo Costa del Sol on August 12 following a 2-2 draw against Fulham. The match concluded in regulation time, but the scheduled penalty shootout to determine a winner did not take place due to the English club's refusal to participate.
Fulham officials cited contractual limitations and strict travel requirements, noting they needed to depart for the airport immediately. The situation was further complicated by the expulsion of Fulham manager Álvaro Arbeloa during the proceedings, which preceded the team's decision to withdraw from the post-match formalities.
