February 10 – But other scandals have shook Turkish football with a match between Galatasaray and Adana Demirspor left in the first round after the away team players were ordered to leave the field after the penalty decision was given to them.

The decision to leave the field was made by Adana Demirspor Management 19 minutes after the controversial sentence was given to Galatasaray after a clear simulation by Dries Mertens in the 11th minute.

Alvaro Morata scored to give Galatasaray a 1-0 advantage.

Exactly half an hour after the start of the match, the players Adana Demirspor headed to the dressing room while the Galatasaray players remained on the field until the referee announced on the stadium loudspeaker that the match was abandoned.

Following the events at the Rams Park Stadium, in Istanbul, Galatasaray coach Okan Bad said the referee’s decision to give a penalty that supported his team was wrong.

“We don’t expect this, but apparently, some people are waiting and immediately posted a tweet. I don’t want to accept anyone’s mistakes … I congratulate the players of Adana Demirspor; They struggled very well. The fans have a banner that says, ‘We never give up’, said Baruk.

“In my opinion, it is most likely not a penalty. This is not the first mistake made by Adana Demirspor. I don’t believe this is an innocent and spontaneous decision. “

Bad also revealed that the players wanted to continue the match, saying: “The players want to play, they ask, ‘What happened?’ Maybe we will win with a different margin, maybe Adana Demirspor will get points.

The Turkish soccer federation is expected to decide this case in the coming days, but Adana Demirspor can expect a minimum of 3: 0 to lose the game, although sanctions tend to be much greater. Adana is currently in the last place in Türkiye’s Super Lig with only 5 points after 21 matches.

Vice President Galatasaray Sports Club Metin öztürk describes what happens as “True Night -Truely sad for Turkish football”.

“Something happens that we don’t expect. Some people would expect it because when we tried to understand what was happening, tweets began to be sent. So they must know something. There is no perception, there is no operation that can divert Galatasaray from the way. We began to see tweets from the other side of water without President Adana Demirspor Murat Sancak or Vice President Metin Bey made a statement. So they have a plan, they make preparations. We will see it tomorrow in all European and world media. This is really a sad night for Turkish football.

A few hours after the incident in Istanbul, Galatasaray used their x profile to announce that no one could stop them on the way to win the 255th title: “Together with millions of our fans, we will break down all obstacles and reach our 25th championship! “
