Former Benfica man loses it as Fenerbahçe blow title (Video) | OneFootball

Fenerbahçe will go another year without winning the Turkish Super League after losing the derby against Galatasaray. After being knocked out of the Turkish Cup, caused by a former Benfica player, the Istanbul club suffered another setback in a match where Ederson was sent off after losing his head with the referee.

With only three rounds left until the end of the league season, Fenerbahçe, who were coached by José Mourinho at the start of the campaign, finished the clash against Galatasaray with one less player on the pitch, after Ederson.

It all began in the first half, when the Brazilian international was shown a yellow card for pressing his head against the referee’s forehead, an action deemed illegal. However, things boiled over in the second half, while a penalty was being awarded in favor of the three-time national champion.

According to what could be confirmed through the footage shown on Sport TV’s broadcast, the former Benfica goalkeeper ended up being sent off for a second booking after delaying the taking of the penalty against Fenerbahçe by failing to obey the referee’s instruction to move back to the goal line.

Faced with the decision of the referee, Ederson refused to leave the pitch while demanding an explanation. When escorted back to the dressing room, the Brazilian international damaged the VAR booth, an action that could earn the former Benfica man a very heavy suspension.
