The president of a top-flight Turkish football club has sparked fury after running onto the pitch following a draw and punching a referee in the face - with the domestic game in the country in turmoil after the Super Lig was suspended indefinitely. In shocking scenes that have been condemned by the country's president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca launched a vicious attack on match official Halil Umut Meler moments after his side drew 1-1 against Rizespor. Abhorrent images show Koca's fist connecting with the referee's cheek just beneath his left eye, sending the official falling to the ground. Others then laid into him with a series of kicks as he curled up on the ground covering his face. A large crowd of players, coaching staff and security were quick to race to the scene and stop the attack, with the shaken Meler eventually helped to his feet. After being led away, he was seen sporting a swollen eye. |
