In the 33rd week of the Süper Lig, Fenerbahçe defeated Gaziantep FK 3-1, continuing its pursuit of the top spot.
Following the match, Fenerbahçe goalkeeper İrfan Can Eğribayat was attacked by Gaziantep FK's N'Diaye.
Speaking to the broadcaster after the match, Eğribayat made striking statements. Stating that the stands were swearing at him, Eğribayat said, "I want to start with other things. We tried to help Antep so much during the earthquake; we tried to share their pain. They asked for water during warm-ups, and I gave it to them. Because I celebrated the goal we scored, the entire stadium, the area behind the goal, started swearing at my mother and sister directly; it is not pleasant. I didn't react once until they started swearing. I reacted within the rules of the game after the goal. My team is leading 3-1, of course I will play for time. Look at what they did in the first half."
The experienced goalkeeper continued his words as follows:
"Goalkeeper Burak is a very dear brother of mine; he takes a goal kick in 1 minute in the first half, and there is no reaction. When we do it, the reactions start. They start swearing at my mother and sister directly. I just laughed. I said, 'My God, I hope you let us win this match.' But what was done is really not pleasant. I celebrated the goals, and they provoked me even more. N'Diaye elbowed me in the back after the match. There is a Beşiktaş match next week, and I can't do anything to him. I know very well which team he plays for. First, be a human being!"
