A Trendyol Super Lig match between Istanbulspor and Trabzonspor was suspended on Tuesday.
Trabzonspor was leading 2-1 when Istanbulspor’s President Ecmel Faik Sarialioglu decided to pull his team off the pitch in protest against calls by the referee.
Despite attempts by Trabzonspor’s President Ertugrul Dogan and several Istanbulspor players to convince Sarıalioglu to resume the match, Istanbulspor abandoned the field.
Egyptian midfielder Trezeguet scored the opening goal for Trabzonspor in the 11th minute at Necmi Kadıoglu Stadium.
Muammer Sarikaya leveled in the 39th minute before Nigerian striker Paul Onuachu made it 2-1 for Trabzon in the 68th minute.
The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) will make the final decision about the match.
