In a troubling video, Bright Osayi-Samuel, the Nigerian international who played as a wing-back for Fenerbahce, was captured throwing a punch and knocking down one of the invading fans who charged at the visiting players.
Tempers flared when supporters of Trabzonspor ran onto the pitch attacking some of the visiting players following their team’s loss in the latest incident in the Turkish topflight league this season.
Osayi-Samuel knocked down a pitch invader while protecting a female officer, while former Chelsea forward Michi Batshuayi, who now features for Fenerbahce, hit at another marauding fan with a spined kick as opposition fans swarmed the visitors after the game.
As reported by the Turkish daily, Fanatik, the Fenerbahce players departed the Papara Park stadium approximately three hours after the match concluded.
The daily also reported that Fenerbahce players looked tired and unhappy while leaving the stadium with Osayi-Samuel and Ferdi Kadigolu having difficulty walking afterwards.
Reacting to the incident on X, Football agent, Erol Toksoy, said Osayi-Samuel should be rewarded with Turkish citizenship for his act.
“Bright Osayi-Samuel should be rewarded with Turkish citizenship for protecting the female officer from these hooligans, a behavior that will be an example to all of us.”
When asked by Fanatik if Osayi-Samuel and other players would face a possible sanction for their involvement in the brawl, another agent, Cenk Yazici said, “I don’t think the players pictured attacked will be sanctioned. This is a disgrace to Turkish football.”
@FootballReprt wrote, “Osayi-Samuel is the absolute real one for rocking the shit out of that clown with the clown mask and a butterfly knife.”
@Allsportztv also wrote, “Osayi-Samuel poured that anger from AFCON on the fan’s body.”
Another fan commented, “Osayi-Samuel rearranged the face of Trabzonspor supporters after they invaded and attacked his teammates. Crazy scenes. He was born ready.”
