All football in Turkey has been suspended indefinitely after a referee was physically assaulted by a club president on Monday night, during a top-flight game between MKE Ankaragucu and Caykur Rizespor.
Following a last-gasp equaliser from Rizespor, MKE Ankaragucu president Faruk Koca ran onto the pitch at the full-time whistle to approach referee Halil Umut Meler. A shocking act of violence followed, with Koca striking Meler on the cheekbone, sending the Champions League-level official to the ground.
