There are times when the ‘beautiful game’ ends up showing its ugly side. The match between Turkish giants Trabzonspor and Fenerbahce proved to be exactly that. Former Manchester United star Fred scored a brace to put Fenerbahce in the lead. However, Trabzonspor scored twice to equalize, and the match seemed to be heading toward a draw. This was until Michy Batshuayi scored a late winner in the 87th minute. Little did he know that this would cause an outrage.

The Fenerbahce players then proceeded to celebrate in the center circle in front of the visibly agitated Trabzonspor.

What led to Michy Batshuayi’s attempt to kick a fan?

The late defeat did not go down well with the home fans. Adding salt to the wound was Fenerbahce and Michy Batshuayi’s celebrations on the pitch. Consequently, one fan ran onto the pitch to confront the away team. However, the pitch invader was chased down by the match security. This just further riled up the already agitated crowd. As a result, numerous fans burst onto the pitch and charged at the players. Some confrontations were caught on camera including the one involving Batshuayi.

The footage showed an opposition player approaching Michy Batshuayi. Out of nowhere, the Belgian unleashed what seemed like a spinning kick! Fortunately, he didn’t seem to make much connection or perhaps even missed entirely. However, his fellow teammate Samuel Osayi didn’t miss his attempts.
