REACTION FROM KONYASPOR TO THE REFEREE
After the match, Konyaspor, who complained about the referee's decisions, shared a post on their social media accounts to express their reaction.
Here is Konyaspor's statement:
''The disallowed goal and the penalty decisions given/not given in our match against Kasımpaşa have shattered the sense of justice in Turkish football. It is unacceptable that two penalty decisions were given in favor of the opponent while the same decisions were not made for our team in similar and clearer situations, which is a scandal.
The disregard for the sweat of our players who fought on the field does not fit the spirit of football or the justice of competition. We declare to the public that we will follow up to the end, not only as management but together with all the components of this city, on what the labor of a city is disregarded for.
We invite the Turkish Football Federation, which can quickly make statements on every issue, to immediately and clearly account to the public regarding the scandalous decisions experienced in this match.''
ILHAN PALUT TO THE REFEREE: ''LET MHK CLEAR THE WAY, LET HIM MANAGE ON THE FIELD''
Konyaspor's head coach İlhan Palut also commented on the match referee, saying, "Even if we talk a lot, it doesn't help. I watched. How will VAR intervene in the first position for a penalty? The foul given in the goal we scored. The foul given in the disallowed penalty. Coach Bülent was very much involved in the match. It needs to be evaluated on the field. VAR refereeing is not enough for Coach Bülent, he is not satisfied, he wants more. Let MHK clear the way, let him manage on the field. It is not a correct practice to manage a match from where he sits."
