Stambul's "Fenerbahce" team defender Gokhan Gonul will have to look for a good dentist after Thursday's UEFA Europa League rematch with Portuguese Lisbon's "Benfica" club. However, before that, he will have to heal numerous facial bone fractures.
The player did not expect that his career would be interrupted by a "non-standard" injury for footballers, but a terrible facial beating. The 28-year-old footballer from the Turkish team lost seven teeth to a blow to the face from opponent Nicolas Gaitan's foot in the second half on Thursday. The injured player also suffered a jawbone fracture and a broken nose septum.
Strangely, after this incident, N. Gaitan did not receive any punishment. The Argentine was not even shown a yellow card.
In the UEFA Europa League rematch semi-final match, "Fenerbahce" lost to "Benfica" 1:3 and did not reach the final, although they beat the Portuguese 1:0 at home.
