Tempers flared in a pre-season friendly between Real Betis and Como, with players trading blows and being shown red cards in a huge bust-up between the two sides.

The incident occurred just before half-time, at which point the Como side coached by Cesc Fabregas were leading by two goals.

The technical staff from both teams got involved along with a number of players after Pablo Fornals and Maxime Perrone traded blows, and it all ended with two yellow cards and two red cards, for the aforementioned players who started the bust-up.

Real Betis fought back to make it 2-2 in the second half but Como then sealed the win courtesy of a stoppage-time winner from Ivan Azon.
