Arda Turan Reacts After Penalty Incident

In the fourth round of the EFA Champions League, Sporting CP defeated Arda Turan's Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 in England. With this result, Shakhtar Donetsk remain on 4 points after four matches, with one win, one draw and two defeats. Portuguese side Sporting, meanwhile, earned their third win and raised their points total to 9.

One incident stood out in the match. Vinicius Tobias went down in the penalty area after a hard challenge from Sporting's Quaresma. Referee Ivan Kruzliak did not point to the spot, and there was no warning from VAR either. Arda Turan protested for a long time after the decision.

In the second half, Arda Turan answered a question about the incident and said he believed it was a penalty. Recalling an earlier Galatasaray match as well, Turan criticized VAR decisions and said he reacts strongly to injustices. Saying the decision upset him, Turan stated that the referees should be ashamed of this call.
