Remarkable moments took place at RAMS Park in the last minutes of the Galatasaray-Samsunspor match played in the 15th week of the Trendyol Super League. The guest team expected a penalty due to handball in one position. The referee of the match, Mehmet Türkmen, continued the game after the VAR review. After this decision, Samsunspor players reacted intensely to the referee.
With the end of the match, Galatasaray shared the red card position it was expecting in the match. Thereupon, the Black Sea representative responded to his opponent with a post on his social media account.

“MAKE A NOTE OF THIS IN HISTORY”
Samsunspor made another post on its social media account. The following statements were included in the post from the Black Sea team:
Tonight was literally a dark night for football.
Despite our calls for clean, fair and equal football, we are faced with grave decisions of the match referees at every opportunity.
Despite the statements of our club and our President, Mr. Yüksel Yıldırım, the match referees did not correct themselves and their decisions; On the contrary, it seems that he makes worse decisions in each competition than the previous one.
Our penalty was clearly not awarded in the last minutes of tonight’s match. The position was ignored. It is ignored that the ball touched the opposing team player. The unilateral decisions constantly made against our team have now come to the fore tonight.
Such bad decisions and those who made these decisions need to be cleared urgently from Turkish football. Otherwise, Turkish football, which is the value of our country, will continue to be damaged.
We invite the Turkish Football Federation and its boards to do what is necessary as soon as possible.
The penalty rule was clearly not applied tonight. Make a note of this in history!
