Note
Fred's brace and Michy Batshuayi's strike helped Fenerbahce beat rivals Trabzonspor 3-2, thereby officially securing a ticket to the UEFA Champions League after a 15-year wait.
After the match, Fenerbahce players put their arms around each other and celebrated together right on the opponent's home field. A masked fan suddenly rushed down and raised his fist towards the Fenerbahce player. Immediately, this man was knocked down by many players and members of the visiting team. Even fullback Bright Osayi-Samuel rushed over and punched the fan lying on the ground.
A fan "challenged" the visiting team's player.
Bright Osayi-Samuel's actions sparked a horrific scene that followed. Hundreds of Trabzonspor fans, armed with sticks, rushed onto the pitch to demand a "settlement" with coach Kartal and his team. The Fenerbahce stars had to flee into the tunnel, with the support of many security personnel at Papara Park.
In a video shared on social media, Batshuayi, a former Chelsea player, was also seen kicking the home fans before running into the tunnel.
Fenerbahce won 3 important points to officially put an end to Trabzonspor's hope of winning a ticket directly to the group stage of the 2024/25 Champions League.
The brawl sparked riots at Papara Park.
At the moment, the gap between the two clubs is 30 points, while there are only 8 rounds left in the season. Currently, the 2 tickets to the most prestigious European cup tournament next season belong to the first and second teams in the Turkish National Championship, which are Galatasaray (81 points) and Fenerbahce (79 points). Meanwhile, Trabzonspor can only compete for a ticket to the Europa League.
