WOLVES star Daniel Podence was sent off for punching an opponent during a pre-season friendly after alleged racist abuse of Hwang Hee-chan.
The Premier League side are currently in Marbella and took on Serie A new boys Como, who have Cesc Fabregas as head coach, today.
Wolves had a 1-0 lead when the trouble erupted in the 68th minute.
Players from both teams became embroiled in a coming together before Podence was spotted swinging a punch at an opposition defender, which led to the 28-year-old receiving a red card.
The incident started after Wolves forward Hwang claimed a Como player had racially abused him.
It is not suggested that Podence punched the Como player alleged to have made racist comments.
That led to the furious response from the Wolves team, and stars and coaches from both sides held talks for several minutes.
Wolves boss Gary O’Neil spoke to Hwang and offered him the opportunity to abandon the match.
But the South Korean was determined to continue and play out the 90 minutes.
O’Neil said: “Channy heard a racist remark which is really disappointing.
At the time of writing, Como have yet to make any public comment on the incident.
Matt Doherty scored the only goal of the match to claim a 1-0 victory for Wolves in their first pre-season match.
