Unpleasant scenes: The test match between West Bromwich Albion and RCD Mallorca (0:1) escalated completely on Saturday! The players Jayson Molumby and Samu Costa clashed and fists even flew.

Things got really heated shortly before the end of the first half. As can be seen in a video on social media, the two brawlers came face to face during a stoppage in play. And then things got wild ...

First there was a headbutt from West Bromwich player Molumby, then a "slap" from Mallorca's Costa. The Irish international refused to put up with this and suddenly lashed out with a punch. He then pulled his opponent to the ground and his teammates had to intervene.

First half ended prematurely
The test match was overshadowed by the scandal. After the scandal, the referee ended the first half prematurely. Both players escaped without a card, but Molumby was substituted at the break. A goal from Antonio Sanchez ultimately gave Mallorca a 1-0 win, but the sporting action faded into the background.
