Çulcu: The Slap on Vlahovic Should Have Been a Red Card

In Week 10 of the Trendyol Süper Lig, Beşiktaş visited Kasımpaşa and the match ended in a 2-2 draw. During the game, Kasımpaşa's Arous slapped Beşiktaş's Serbian star Vlahovic. This incident was discussed by former referee and veteran commentator Mustafa Çulcu on A Spor's 90+1 program.

Çulcu said he did not understand why the referee did not show a red card for the action, noting that it was what is known as an "Ottoman slap". Arguing that slaps aimed at Beşiktaş players have gone unpunished, Çulcu said that a referee who cannot punish such acts cannot be a referee.
