The celebration of the home team's Israeli player, Sagiv Jehezkel, after his goal drew backlash. The 28-year-old footballer showed the writing on his wrist to the cameras after scoring.

"DECISION MADE TO EXCLUDE FROM THE SQUAD"

Antalyaspor Club issued an official statement regarding the matter.

The statement made by Antalyaspor is as follows:

Respectfully."
