Fenerbahce head coach Jose Mourinho is facing new trouble after he allowed himself to pinch Okan Buruk's nose. The incident occurred after the final whistle of the Turkish Cup match between Fenerbahce and Galatasaray, which ended in a 2:1 victory for the visiting team.

Mourinho was duly sent off for his actions after losing his temper. The tension was palpable at the end, with the referee showing three consecutive red cards. Buruk, who is Galatasaray's head coach, fell to the ground after the incident with Mourinho, who could face a serious penalty for his actions. Fenerbahce player Irfan Kahveci intervened by pushing his Portuguese coach aside and then helping Buruk to his feet. Both Galatasaray coach and club vice president Metin Öztürk criticized Mourinho and hope he will be held accountable for his actions.

Otherwise, on the field, Galatasaray reached the semifinals of the competition after a brace from Victor Osimhen. The former Napoli striker scored in the 10th and 27th minute. At the end of the first half, Fenerbahçe reduced the deficit through Sebastian Szymanski, but that was all from them.

The last derby between Fenerbahçe and Galatasaray for the Turkish Cup was from the 2015/16 season, when Galatasaray rejoiced with the trophy after a 1:0 win in the final in Antalya. | BGNES
