“Faruk Coca, chairman of MKE Ankara Guizi, assaulted referee Halil Umut Mellor.
Ankara reported that Kayserispo’s game was 1-0 in the second half of the extra time, when he conceded an equalizer, and violence was committed.”
“All league matches will be postponed indefinitely,” Turkish Football Association President Mehmet Bouwoukessi said. “This assault is a night of shame for Turkish football. After treatment, detention will proceed.”
Mellor was beaten several times. When he fell to the ground, he was attacked again by other players and reportedly suffered injuries, including minor fractures.
“Other people involved in the incident were also arrested. It is an incident that should be strongly condemned,” Turkey’s Interior Minister Ali Jerichaya said.
He is one of the best referees in the Turkish league and is also in charge of international matches for FIFA. “I have a small fracture around my left eye,” his doctor said. “I have a head injury. I will be discharged from the hospital after completing necessary tests.”토토사이트 순위
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan also stepped up. “I condemn the assault and wish Mellor a speedy recovery. Sports and violence are incompatible. They can never be allowed,” he said.
