The Turkish Super Cup ended in chaos today with only a minute’s play when Fenerbahçe players walked off after conceding an early goal against Galatasaray, which was declared the 1-0 winner.
Fenerbahçe had already decided to field its under-19 team for the match to protest alleged unfavourable treatment by Turkish soccer authorities.
Argentine forward Mauro Icardi scored in the first minute after being set up by Barış Alper Yılmaz. The Fenerbahçe players then left the field before the game could resume, drawing whistles from fans.
Galatasaray was subsequently declared the winner, prompting earlier-than-expected celebrations for Icardi’s team.
