A pre-season friendly match between Como and Real Betis has turned ugly when a mass brawl broke out between players of both teams. 


The incident occurred during halftime at the Estadio Municipal de La Línea de la Concepción in Cadiz on Wednesday, following a heated exchange between Real Betis midfielder, Pablo Fornals and Como's Maximo Perrone.


Fornals appeared to throw a punch at Perrone, prompting the Como player to attempt retaliation, and the clash quickly escalated as players from both sides rushed in, resulting in multiple on-field scuffles. 


Despite throwing the first punch, Fornals avoided a red card, while Perrone and former Arsenal defender, Hector Bellerin, were handed red cards.


Como was leading 2-0 when the brawl broke out, but Real Betis rallied to equalize the score at 2-2, and Ivan Azon's stoppage-time goal secured a 3-2 victory for Cesc Fabregas' side.
