In the Turkish Süper Lig, tempers often flare – that's well-known.
However, what happened last Saturday between Gaziantep and Eyüpspor was something we hadn't seen before...
It was already the fifth minute of injury time when two opposing players suddenly got into a scuffle. Quickly, some teammates rushed over to support their fellow player.

The referee allowed the melee – seemingly unexpectedly for the TV cameras – to continue, and Gaziantep's Emmanuel Boateng took advantage of the late opportunity. The striker slotted the ball into the completely deserted net for a 1-2 comeback goal.
Apparently, for a brawl, the same rule applies as for the entire game: It's not over until the ref blows the whistle!
