In the match, which was played in Spain, the two teams faced each other with 10 players each after two players were sent off. The incident occurred just before halftime, when Real Betis Balompié player Nelson Edossa reacted to a foul by Bournemouth defender Bafode Diakate. The Real Betis Balompié player kicked the ball towards the Bournemouth player from close range, which provoked a response from other Bournemouth players. That's when Antony joined the fight and got involved in a shoving match with Alex Scott, resulting in both players receiving straight red cards from the referee. At that point, Bournemouth was leading 1-0, but with each team down to 10 men, they eventually shared the spoils in a 2-2 draw.
