After Yeni Malatyaspor drew with Kayserispor 2-2 at home in another Thursday Super Lig game, team chairman Adil Gevrek appeared to lose his temper, invading the pitch to argue with the referee Huseyin Gocek.

Goalie Ertac Ozbir grabbed Gevrek to calm him down.

After the incident at Yeni Malatya Stadium, Police surrounded the referees for protection before escorting them off the field.

Malatyaspor later tweeted a black screen in protest of the referee's decisions.

The club from eastern Turkey claimed that Gocek's decisions during the game were unfair.
