Galatasaray was the winner of the Ziraat Turkish Cup semi-final match where Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray faced off. As tension peaked in the final moments of the match, players clashed, and the arguments ended only after police entered the pitch.

A physical intervention that occurred between the managers after the final whistle drew attention.

The moment Fenerbahçe manager Mourinho reached his hand toward Galatasaray manager Okan Buruk's nose, followed by Okan Buruk falling to the ground, was captured by cameras.

Time will tell what kind of penalties the teams will face following these images and the events that took place.

POST-MATCH STATEMENT FROM OKAN BURUK: I WILL NOT EXAGGERATE WHAT HAPPENED

"There was nothing between him and me. I congratulated the referees, and he did too.

As I was walking away, there was an intervention from behind. A scratch formed on my nose.

I won't exaggerate it too much, but it wasn't a classy thing to do.

We should have shaken hands both before and after the match, but as I said, it's not that important. I won't exaggerate what happened."
