Kerem Aktürkoğlu's gesture toward the referee becomes a talking point!

In the match played during the 14th week of the Portuguese League, Benfica drew 1-1 away against AVS. In this encounter, Kerem Aktürkoğlu provided the assist for his team's only goal.

However, the national footballer became a talking point in Portugal this time not for his contribution to the score, but for the heavy blow he received and his subsequent gesture toward referee Joao Gonçalves.

Kerem Aktürkoğlu remained on the ground in pain following a harsh challenge from AVS center-back Devenish. While the Colombian defender was penalized with a yellow card, Kerem protested this decision vehemently.

Taking off his jersey, Kerem Aktürkoğlu showed the referee the mark left by the blow to his waist. Sources close to Benfica carried this action to their headlines, drawing attention to the harsh challenge Kerem was subjected to and using the phrase, "Only the referee didn't see it."

Kerem Aktürkoğlu was substituted in the 75th minute of the match against AVS, leaving his place to Florentino.

Kerem Aktürkoğlu has played in 17 matches wearing the Benfica jersey this season. The 26-year-old player has scored 10 goals and provided 5 assists in these matches.
