Okan Buruk Sent Off with Red Card in Villarreal Friendly
In Galatasaray's final preparation match before the Süper Lig, head coach Okan Buruk was shown a red card after reacting to a referee's decision.
Galatasaray faced Spanish club Villarreal in their last preparation match just days before the start of the Süper Lig. For head coach Okan Buruk of the yellow-red team, the match ended early due to an unexpected development.
In just the 5th minute of the match, a decision by referee Kadir Sağlam greatly angered Okan Buruk. The experienced coach reacted sharply to the decision, voicing his objections to the referee.
Buruk's continued protest through sarcastic applause led the referee to show him a second yellow card. These two consecutive yellow cards resulted in the man in charge of Galatasaray being sent off with a red card very early in the match.
