Turkish soccer faced new questions over the credibility of the game on Monday after an anarchic clash between Galatasaray and Trabzonspor ended with just seven players from the Black Sea side on the pitch and one of its players showing the referee a red card.


The Sunday night Super Lig clash between Galatasaray of Istanbul and Trabzonspor of Trabzon - one of the most -venomous rivalries in the Turkish game - was marked by a litany of penalties Josh Jackson Jersey , ill discipline and poor refereeing.


Trabzonspor had already had two -players sent off by referee Deniz Ates Bitnel when Belgian defender Luis Cavanda was deemed to have brought down Umut Bulut in the penalty box in the 86th minute and was himself dismissed.


Trabzonspor players remonstrated with the referee, and in the fracas Trabzonspor defender Salih Dursun pinched the referee's card red and brandished it in front of Bitnel.


Bitnel then recovered the card, using it to send Dursun off. Selcuk Inan stepped up to score the penalty Josh Allen Jersey , winning the game 2-1 for Galatasaray.


"There are messages from all over Turkey, saying 'we are ashamed,'" Trabzonspor Chairman Muharrem Usta said after the game.


"Tonight Joseph Noteboom Jersey , Salih Dursun showed the red card to Turkish football. This is not a symbol of rebellion. It is a symbol of rebirth."


Sports daily Fanatik ran the headline "A card that was 100 percent right" above a picture of Dursun showing the red card and listed six major errors the referee made in the game.


Far from sanctioning Dursun, Trabzonspor announced that the club started printing T-shirts showing Dursun making the already iconic gesture for sale in the official shop.


The team was given a hero's welcome by fans when they flew back to Trabzon after the away clash in Istanbul, television footage showed.


Turkish soccer has seen a huge influx of foreign talent in the past several years Jessie Bates Jersey , and the game saw Netherlands star Wesley Sneijder and Germany's Lukas Podolski turning out for Galatasaray.
