A soccer match between Turkey's Trabzonspor and the visiting Fenerbahce on Sunday (March 17, 2024) saw the home crowd storm the field after losing 3-2, leading to a scuffle with security guards and opposing players. However, it turned out to be an ugly development.
It was like a mixed martial arts (MMA) match on steroids.
After the game, players from the visiting Fenerbahce team began celebrating in the center of the pitch (a fancy word for field).I don't know much about overseas soccer, but if it's similar to American football, then celebrate in the opponent's midfield is absolutely not allowed. It was like that on Sunday too.
Fans in attendance stormed onto the field and began attacking Fenerbahce players. Security was clearly involved, but that didn't stop a skirmish from breaking out that would make any casual fight fan proud. In fact, one of his players on the opposing team almost got hit with a spinning back kick to the face. Some resorted to throwing and punching to disperse the crowd of angry fans.
It was a chaotic scene to say the least, and a terrible end to the weekend for football fans. Check out the post-match brawl in the video player above and check out more footage below.
according to ESPNauthorities launched an investigation to identify the fans who stormed the pitch and sparked the post-match brawl.
