In the fight for relegation, the Turkish second division team needs Sakaryaspor. But there was little of that in the game on Thursday.

Curious scene in Turkey: In the second division game between sacryaspor and pendiks, one player conceded a red card because he attacked his own teammate. The culprit was the captain of the guests of Sakaryaspor: Caner Erkin. The 63-time international of Türkiye clashed at 3-1 for porp pores with teammate Burak Altıparmak. The two teammates were forehead before Erkin left – and Altıparmak slapped.

The referee reacted significantly, showed the captain of the guests the red card. He could hardly believe that, after all, it was not a opponent he had driven, but a teammate.

But the referee didn’t care. He stayed in his decision. From the 76th minute, Sakaryasport played tenth – and finally lost the game 1: 4.
