PRE-MATCH SCANDAL BANNER!
There was a big scandal in the Belgrade Arena before the match. Partisan tribunes unfurled an anti-Turkish banner depicting Milos Obilic, who daggered and martyred the Ottoman Sultan Murad I during the First Kosovo War in 1389.
While the provocative chants that lasted for minutes attracted reactions, our representative Fenerbahçe Beko showed the clearest response on the field with the response he gave on the parquet.
