The Adana Demirspor players made a dramatic exit from the pitch during the first-half of their match against Super Lig leaders Galatasaray on Sunday. According to Turkey's state news agency, the players walked off in protest after a penalty was awarded against them, resulting in Galatasaray taking a 1-0 lead with Alvaro Morata scoring from the spot in the 30th minute. Following their departure, the referee's team attempted to speak with them in the dressing room, leading to an announcement that the match at Rams Park stadium had been abandoned.
