Primero fui al shopping. Luego tuve que ir a jugar al fútbol.


Explanation:
In Argentina and other Latin American countries we use the word "shooping" for mall.

agree  Monica Colangelo: You are right. In Argentina we call them shoppings and use centro comercial for the main streets in a town where there are shops of all sorts. Though malls are far larger than our shoppings
