Tempers flared inside the Basaksehir Fatih Terim Stadium after a 2-1 Süper Lig victory for Basaksehir FK over Gaziantep FK. Coaches Nuri Sahin and Orhan Ak were involved in a significant altercation.

Referee Alpaslan Sen issued a red card to Gaziantep's coach, Orhan Ak, for his behavior. Nuri Sahin, who is in his first coaching role since a previous dismissal, opted not to discuss the incident, stating his focus remains on the sport and maintaining that he never behaves disrespectfully.
