After the derby brawl: what punishment will the PFDK impose?
At the end of the Galatasaray and Fenerbahce derby, a fight broke out between Brown and Bardakci and two players were shown red cards. It is reported that the penalties will vary depending on the article under which the matter is referred to the PFDK.
The Trendyol Super Lig Week 9 derby between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce ended in a 2-1 Galatasaray victory. Tension erupted on the pitch after the final whistle. Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Roland Sallai were seen pushing each other, while the physical contact between Archie Brown and Abdülkerim Bardakci turned into a fight.
The referee showed cards to four players after the incident. Archie Brown and Abdülkerim Bardakci were sent off with red cards, while Kerem Aktürkoğlu and Roland Sallai were booked with yellow cards.
If the incidents are taken to the Professional Football Disciplinary Committee (PFDK), the sanction applied will depend on the article under which the players are referred. Players referred under the assault provision in Article 44 of the Football Disciplinary Regulation could face a suspension of 5 to 10 matches. If they are referred under the fighting provision in Article 45 of the same regulation, the suspension is expected to be 3 to 5 matches.
Any additional sanctions for the players will depend on the disciplinary referrals made by the Turkish Football Federation and the decisions issued by the PFDK.
