The match was interrupted due to the events in the Izmir derby played between Göztepe and Altay in the Spor Toto 1st League.
After the 19th minute of the match, things got mixed up. After firing firecrackers at the Göztepe fans from the Altay stands, some fans were injured in the Göztepe tribune. Thereupon, 2 ambulances entered the field. Meanwhile, a Göztepe supporter who went down to the field took the corner flag pole and attacked Altay goalkeeper Ozan. The supporters who hit Ozan were taken into custody. After the blows he received, Ozan remained on the ground. Security forces entered the field and intervened in the events.
Emre Kargin, the referee of the match, who went to the locker room, canceled the match.
Here are those moments…
