Fenerbahce: Angry Fans Confront Referee After Super Lig Match vs Adana Demirspor

• Fenerbahçe fans took issue with a match official after their game against Adana Demirspor
• The match official took the same flight as Fenerbahce fans but did not engage them
• Fenerbahce dropped valuable points to fall further off the log leaders Galatasaray

Angry Fenerbahçe fans confronted a match official after a Super Lig match in Turkey. The fans had made the trip to the Yeni Adana Stadyumu to face Adana Demirspor but got a disappointing result.

Ecuador's World Cup hero Enner Valencia rescued a point for the visitors in the 88th minute but the fans felt aggrieved by a series of calls from the referee.

As reported by the Daily Star, one of the assistant referees, Abdullah Bora Özkar shared the same flight with some Fenerbahçe fans.

One fan is heard saying:

"Don't bother us, I swear we won't let you out on the street, don't mess with Fenerbahçe... Do you know how to raise the flag?"

In the video shared on social media, the official did not respond to the fans' accusations and sat silently on his seat.

Cherif Ndiaye gave Adana the lead via the penalty spot before Valencia restored parity four minutes later. Younes Belhanda had earlier missed an opportunity to put Adana ahead from the spot in the first half. Fenerbahce's head coach Jorge Jesus was sent off at the end of the game.

With the point, Fenerbache remain in second place, 9 points adrift of Galatasaray who have commanded the title race. Galatasaray have however played a game more than their rivals.
