Fenerbahçe's national striker Cenk Tosun made statements after the 2-2 draw against Corendon Alanyaspor in the Super League.

'I ASKED THE OPPONENT, EVEN HE SAID 'IT HIT MY HAND'

Speaking about the penalty incident, Cenk Tosun said, "We had a bad first half. Unfortunately. We started the second half very well, created pressure, it became 1-1, we found 2-1. We conceded an unfortunate goal in the last seconds. After the goal, in the last position... While the referee was waiting for VAR, we were talking among ourselves. I asked a player from the opposing team, 'Did it hit you?' Even he said, 'It hit my hand, brother.' I went to the penalty spot to take the ball. I was going to take the penalty. I looked in the locker room, the hand was quite open. It's clear that we had a clear penalty. The ball is also changing direction. It's not in a position where the hand is combined with the body. I was surprised," he said.

'WE ARE SAD'

The experienced striker continued his words, saying, "We are sad. The league is a big marathon. We want to overcome this as soon as possible and focus on the match we will play on the weekend. We are sad. We know how to get up from here."

'THEY DIDN'T GIVE OUR PENALTY'

On the other hand, another player Levent Mercan also made statements after the Alanyaspor match. Stating that their penalties were not given, Levent Mercan said, "I listened to Nelson, I agree with him. We didn't start well, but the team showed character and turned the game around. The last minutes could have been better. We conceded a goal, but I watched the position. We could have had a chance for 3-2, with the penalty incident... The referees didn't give our penalty, or the VAR referee. It's okay! We will continue on our way. Hopefully, it will be good for us!"
