100 football hooligans attack each other before 'friendly' on Canary Islands, as Spanish police rush in to stop thugs causing chaos
Spanish police were forced to rush in and break up a skirmish after 'around 100' football hooligans attacked each other during a pre-season friendly. CD Tenerife and UD Las Palmas squared off in a fiery Canary Islands derby showdown which boiled over into disgraceful scenes on Saturday. Footage taken before kick-off and shared widely across social media showed a large band of hooligans - many of whom were shirtless - abandoning their seats. They then marched around the side of the pitch and attempted to break into another stand, forcing the supporters there to quickly look to move away. According to Spanish publication El Partidazo de Cope, the videos showed travelling Las Palmas thugs leaving their designated area to try and attack home supporters. They appeared to throw multiple missiles toward the home section while some were even spotted attempting to launch barriers to cause maximum disruption. 🚨 ÚLTIMA HORA | Altercados en la previa del @CDTOficial y la @UDLP_Oficial del Trofeo Teide 😱 Se desplazaron entre 80 y 100 aficionados radicales del conjunto 'Pío-pío' 🚓 Tuvo que intervenir la Guardia Civil 📻 #PartidazoCOPE — El Partidazo de COPE (@partidazocope) August 2, 2025 Fortunately, police officers and La Guardia Civil were quick to rush to the scene. With both sets of supporters separated once more, the chaos fizzled out. Videos of the melee spread across X, with users disgusted with the disorder. 'A friendly, regrettable,' one account posted. 'They have tarnished the badge of UD Las Palmas and brought absolute shame,' another added. 'That said, not everyone on the other side will be saints either.' 'They don't know how to behave, they always get heated, and they don't represent the fans of the UD,' a third user damningly declared. A fourth wrote: 'One must be daft to organise a friendly derby!' Another viewer simply said: 'Morons being morons.' The Teide Trophy 'friendly' ended in a 1-1 draw and went to penalties. Tenerife went on to claim the bragging rights after winning the shootout 4-1, ensuring they got their hands on the silverware after a fractitious afternoon.

Rave reviews for Harimau Malaya debutants Ubaidullah and Palmero
KUALA LUMPUR: The future of Harimau Malaya may have just taken its first confident stride against Cape Verde and it came in the form of two debutants - Ubaidullah Samsul Fazili and Gabriel Palmero. While the international friendly ended in a 1-1 draw at the Cheras Football Stadium on Thursday, it was the composure and promise shown by Ubaidullah and Palmero that stole the headlines and the trust of national coach Peter Cklamovski. Ubaidullah, a 21-year-old centreback from Terengganu, was handed his first senior cap and he grew into the game in the most encouraging fashion. The nerves were evident in the opening 45 minutes but the second half belonged to him. With each tackle, pass, and confident surge from the backline, he embodied the spirit of a defender coming of age. 'I am proud to wear the colours of the nation,' said Ubaidullah. 'This was my first game for Malaysia, so there were jitters, especially in the first half. I made some mistakes but during half-time, the coaches and teammates reminded me to play my game. That gave me the push I needed.' By full-time, he had earned the man-of-the-match award, a testament to the composure he displayed against a team ranked 72nd in the world. His maturity belied his age. 'Football is about using every chance that comes your way. You are never a finished product - every day, you're learning,' he added. 'I enjoy playing in a back three and have done it for my club and the Under-23s. The intensity at the international level is higher but I will adapt.' His performance will only add to his growing stock, with reports of potential loan moves to Thailand surfacing earlier this year. On the other side of the pitch, Palmero - the Spanish-born wingback from CD Tenerife - brought composure and clarity on the flanks. The 23-year-old's touches were clean, his positioning intelligent, and his connection with teammates seamless, despite this being his first outing in Malaysian colours. 'I can do better,' Palmero said humbly. 'I keep working to be the best version of myself. But football is a language, and I try to speak it fluently. Malaysia is in my heart.' Cklamovski, known for his focus on development and detail, was impressed by both players. 'We had six Under-21 players in our first phase. They've all shown the right mentality and adjusted to the intensity we demand,' said the Australian tactician. 'Ubaidullah showed strong character. If we're talking about five years down the line, at a World Cup, he will be at the perfect age to peak. This is the mentality we want.' ''As for Palmero, he came from Spain, prepared well and connected with the group. ''It's not easy facing a world-class opponent in your first match, but he put in a solid individual performance.'
