Yesterday's friendly match between Turkey and Tunisia was full of events. Among them - a red card for Cenk Tosun. Liverpool's "Everton" striker scored a goal in the beginning of the second half from the penalty spot, but soon Anice Badri leveled the score. It was after this incident that a real drama began in the field, when Tosun left the field and confronted opposing fans. Turkish media reported that the 26-year-old player took such actions because fans threw fireworks at his family members who were present at the match. Although the striker did not enter the stands himself, his gestures towards the fans were not pleasant, so the match referee decided to send him off the field. "When I turned around, I saw an argument with my father," - Tosun said after the match. "I did not know all the stories. I told them that they were wrong and not worthy of me." "Character is more important than football. It was an unacceptable gesture. I apologize. I guarantee it will not happen again." Tunisia took control of the match in the 79th minute after Ferjani Sassi's goal, but eventually the score was equalized by Caglar Soyuncu. After this episode, fans began to storm the field.
