Istanbulspor players stopped their match against Trabzonspor this Tuesday in Turkish D1 after being forced to leave the field by their president, outraged by an arbitration decision.
New surreal scene in Turkish football. Because a penalty was not awarded to his team against Trabzonspor, Tuesday December 19, the president of the Istanbulspor club had the match stopped by forcing his players to withdraw, as confirmed by CNN Turk.
Trabzonspor, who opened the scoring in the 11th minute, conceded the equalizer in the 39th, before regaining the advantage in the 68th. But shortly before this 2-1 goal, contact occurred in the Trabzonspor area between French defensive midfielder Batista Mendy and Kosovar international Florian Loshaj from Istanbulspor.
On your knees to resume the match
Referee Ali Şansalan did not call a foul and confirmed the decision after the intervention of the video assistance, which irritated Ecmel Faik Sarıalioğlu, the president of Istanbulspor, who agitated behind the touchline to recall his players and make them stop the match. To the great dismay of Simon Deli, who got down on his knees to, it seems, beg his president to let him resume the game.
This incident occurs a week after the attack on a referee in a Turkish D1 championship match by the president of the Ankaragücü club, suspended for life and placed in pre-trial detention with two other people. The championship was then stopped until December 19.
