Turkish club, Adana Demirspor left the pitch 30 minutes into their Super Lig match against Galatasaray on Sunday, trailing 1-0 after conceding a penalty.
Adana Demirspor President Murat Sancak explained that the walk-off was a protest against the Turkish referees’ committee and football federation.
“Smaller clubs are treated unfairly, and our concerns remain unaddressed,” Sancak said, according to Turkish news outlet T24.
The match had been decided by a 12th-minute penalty converted by Galatasaray’s Spanish forward Alvaro Morata.
Following the incident, Galatasaray coach Okan Buruk acknowledged in a post-match interview that the penalty decision might not have been accurate.
