In the second half of the Süper Lig match between Gaziantep FK and Erzurumspor, Arda Kızıldağ, who came on at the start of the second half, was replaced by Sabahattin Destici in the 56th minute. The player reacted to head coach Orhan Ak's decision.
Gaziantep FK and Erzurumspor met in Week 9 of the Trendyol Süper Lig. Arda Kızıldağ came onto the pitch at the start of the second half and, about 15 minutes after entering, was replaced by Sabahattin Destici in the 56th minute.
The substitution drew attention because of the player's reaction. Arda Kızıldağ did not hide his feelings about head coach Orhan Ak's decision, and having to leave the pitch so soon after coming on stood out.
In an statement on its official social media account, Gaziantep FK gave the reason for the substitution as an injury. The club's post said Sabahattin Destici came on in place of Arda Kızıldağ because of an injury.
However, the gap between the statement and the player's reaction drew attention. The contradiction between the club's official explanation and the images from the pitch became one of the topics of debate after the match.
