In the Turkish championship on Sunday, Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe faced off, with the guests from Istanbul winning the tense match 3-2. Fenerbahçe was already leading 2-0, but Trabzonspor managed to equalize; however, the decision on the winner came in the 87th minute when experienced Michy Batshuayi scored. Fenerbahçe, with Miha Zajc sitting on the bench as a substitute, stayed in the title race with the victory, much to the joy of coach Ismail Kartal‘s team, who expectedly celebrated three points.
But their celebration wasn’t to the liking of the home club’s fans. They first showed their dissatisfaction by throwing objects toward the visiting team’s players, and then the incident escalated significantly. Several enraged Trabzonspor supporters rushed onto the pitch, leading to shocking scenes rarely seen.
Miha Zajc and his teammates had to flee to the locker room, but some of Primorje’s teammates got involved in actual physical confrontations with the fans. Bright Osayi Samuel threw several punches, Jayden Oosterwolde attempted to kick a fan in the head, and Michy Batshuayi tried to disable one of the attackers with a circular kick. Meanwhile, one of the fans hit Croatian goalkeeper Dominik Livaković in the head.
“Sport should primarily be gentlemanly. Violence on football pitches is never acceptable,” Turkish Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya wrote on the X network. This isn’t the first time this season that violence has marred the Turkish league; last December, the championship was even suspended for a while after Faruk Koca, president of MKE Ankaragücü club, attacked and hit a referee.
