Trabzonspor get six-match spectator ban, two Fenerbahce players suspended over brawl

Trabzonspor will play their next six home games without spectators, while two Fenerbahce players were given one-match bans for a post-game brawl last month, the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) ruled on Wednesday.

Fenerbahce threatened to withdraw from the top-tier Super Lig over the incident, but decided not to do so at an extraordinary club congress on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, the TFF's disciplinary council (PFDK) ruled that Trabzonspor will play their next six home matches behind closed doors due to the brawl, imposing a three million Turkish lira fine and other punitive measures.

It also banned Trabzonspor's coach, Egemen Korkmaz, from the dressing room and bench for one match.

Bright Osayi-Samuel, a Fenerbahce defender who was attacked by a fan on the pitch and seen fighting the spectator, was not given a penalty.

However, the PFDK also decided that Fenerbahce's Irfan Can Egribayat and Jayden Quinn Oosterwolde would be suspended for one match and fined for their involvement in the on-field brawl.

Fenerbahce, who won their 19th league title in 2014 and are Turkey's second most decorated team, are in second place after 30 games, five points behind main rivals Galatasaray, who have one game in hand. Fenerbahce host Adana Demirspor on Wednesday.
