Trabzonspor and Fenerbahçe were playing each other in the Super Lig. The Istanbulites had just won (2-3) thanks to a goal from Belgian Michy Batshuayi in the 87th minute of play.
A general brawl broke out in the middle of the field. It was a Trabzon supporter who started the hostilities. The Turkish championship was then suspended for a week, while the president of the Ankaragücü club was suspended for life.
