Incredible scandal in Turkey! The referee was knocked down by the club president and then kicked on the turf (VIDEO)

Yesterday's match of the 15th round of the Turkish championship between Ankaragücü and Rizespor (1:1) ended with literally unbelievable events.

Halil Umut Meler after the beating

After the final whistle, Ankaragücü president Faruk Koca ran onto the pitch and delivered a powerful fist blow to the face of head referee Halil Umut Meler, knocking him out. And while on the turf, the referee received a number of kicks and punches.

Apparently, the inadequate behaviour of the home team's representatives was a consequence of their reaction to the referee's decisions in the above-mentioned match. Meller showed two red cards in that match - one to an Ankaragücü player and one to a Rizespor player. The visitors managed to equalise the score in the 7th minute of the second half, almost immediately after a penalty.
