Hugo Rodallega had a goal disallowed as Fulham drew against Real Betis at Craven Cottage in their penultimate pre-season friendly.

Steve Sidwell put Fulham ahead in the 13th minute when he headed in Bryan Ruiz's corner before Betis levelled 10 minutes into the second half through Nosa Igiebor's close-range strike.

Ruiz had a penalty claim turned down for a trip before Rodallega's effort was chalked off for offside to leave the scores level.

Fulham will play their final pre-season friendly against Parma on Saturday before the start of the Barclays Premier League season.
