An attack on the pitch

The referee named Halil Umut Meler was also kicked in the face as he lay on the ground. Faruk Koca attacked the referee at the end of the game between Ankaragücü and Rizespor after Rizespor scored a 97th-minute equaliser. Koca walked on to the pitch and hit the referee when the final whistle blew in the 1-1 draw at the Eryaman Stadium. The Turkish top-flight football league has been suspended following the incident. The Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan wished Halil Umut Meler a speedy recovery soon after the incident.
