After the goal Galatasaray scored through Rafael Leao in the Amedspor match and the celebrations of the yellow-red players, a yellow card claim came to the agenda. Here is the development...
Portuguese footballer Rafael Leao, wearing the Galatasaray jersey of the Süper Lig leaders, found the net in the 7th minute against Amedspor.
A CELEBRATION THAT SPARKED DEBATE After this goal, Galatasaray players celebrated by pulling their shirts over their heads. Following this goal celebration by the yellow-and-reds, it was emphasized that the players should have received yellow cards under the rules book.
IS A YELLOW CARD REQUIRED? Former referees Bülent Yıldırım and Seçim Demirel, commenting on beIN Trio, answered the question, "Is a card required for Galatasaray's goal celebration?"

According to the book's refereeing, 7 yellow cards should be shown. The referee has to impose a sanction. Remaining indifferent is also not right. There is no such thing as 7 yellow cards. Here, this choreographed, exaggerated goal celebration should have been identified by the referee and at minimum 1 yellow card was required. Passing it without sanction is not right."
''PERHAPS 1 OR 2 PLAYERS COULD HAVE BEEN SHOWN A YELLOW CARD'' Seçim Demirel, on the other hand, assessed, "It would not be right for all of them to receive a yellow card. Perhaps 1 or 2 players could have been shown a yellow card. Showing a yellow card to all players is not right."
