Ankaragücü - Rizespor Following the match, the police statement of Ankaragücü President Faruk Koca regarding his physical assault on referee Halil Umut Meler has been revealed.
Faruk Koca defended himself in a surprising manner in his initial statement following the incident. According to HaberTürk TV Ankara Representative Fevzi Çakır, Koca denied the accusations against him, stating,
"My intention was to spit in the referee's face. The slap I delivered would not cause a fracture. After my slap, he stood for about 5-10 seconds, then threw himself to the ground.
