In the 9th-week match of the Süper Lig between Fenerbahçe and Hatayspor, assistant referee Kemal Yılmaz had signaled a 'penalty' to the head referee, but the decision was canceled by VAR due to 'offside'.

Assistant referee Kemal Yılmaz, whose penalty decision was canceled by VAR due to offside, announced that he was quitting refereeing in a statement on his social media account, citing the fact that the Central Referee Committee (MHK) had not assigned him any matches.
