As the Burgundy-Blue team was launching a fast break, referee Arda Kardeşler stopped play, citing that the free kick was taken from the wrong spot. This decision caused tension on the pitch.
VERY HARSH WORDS FROM DOĞAN
Appearing before the cameras after the match, Trabzonspor President Ertuğrul Doğan targeted Arda Kardeşler. Doğan expressed his reaction in the strongest terms, stating, "His refereeing career is over."
"THE PRICE FOR THIS WILL BE VERY HEAVY"
Following these developments, TFF President İbrahim Hacıosmanoğlu joined a live broadcast on A Spor and made striking statements regarding the process. Hacıosmanoğlu expressed his reaction with the words, "What happened tonight is not a mistake. I have never seen anything like this in my life. The price for this will be very heavy. Whatever plan is behind this, it is our duty to solve it."
"THE PUBLIC WILL SEE THE NECESSARY ACTION"
Hacıosmanoğlu used the following expressions in his statements:
"We have only one goal: to serve football fairly, justly, and at an equal distance to everyone. The team of a friend who served as an executive for 5 years, as president for 20 years, and whom we made the 1st vice president, was relegated. He said, 'Everyone lives their own fate,' we do not interfere with anyone. If these actions are taken at a point where we want to provide fair service, the price for this is very heavy. The public will see how the necessary action is taken. As a sports fan, we apologize to the public because such an action was taken. Fixing it is our job. May God Almighty not grant us the opportunity to do wrong. I am saying that the necessary action will be taken. I apologize again and present my respects to the public. There is no need for questions. We have passed the point where questions should be asked. We will speak in general. We will share it with the public next week."
