Player Attacks Pitch Invader with Flying Kick During Karabukspor vs. Elazigspor

A fan seeking to attack the match official following Karabukspor's clash with Elazigspor on Saturday was halted in his tracks, as a player took him out with a flying kick.

The incident occurred at the conclusion of the match in the Turkish second tier, with the two teams playing out a 2-2 draw. As the players began to head toward the tunnel after the final whistle, one supporter wanted to make his feelings clear to the referee:

As reported by Jon Moody of the Mirror, the pitch invader tossed objects at the official before one player took matters into his own hands.

The referee had his work cut out for him in this matchup. Gilles Binya was sent off for Elazigspor just before half-time, and in the second half, there were six yellow cards dished out, with four—two for each side—coming after the 90th minute, per Soccerway.

Junior Kabananga struck late on to give Karabukspor a valuable point in the game, although the result means they do slip out of the automatic promotion spots into third. Elazigspor are currently in seventh place and outside the playoff spots on goal difference with two games to go.

That means there is a strong possibility these two sides could square off again before the campaign comes to an end.
