Security clashed with the opponents, but managed to avoid a full-blown fight. However, F.Melo's rough play and his passionate behavior enraged the "Beşiktaş" fans. They tried to enter the field and clashed with the police.
Meanwhile, as F.Melo was leaving the field, he managed to further provoke the opposing fans. The player took off his shirt and waved it to the "Beşiktaş" stadium spectators. They, of course, were very displeased and threw objects at the security.
Soon the situation in the stands became uncontrollable. Referees interrupted the match and players dispersed into the locker rooms.
