Following this, referee Oğuzhan Çakır announced that the match was abandoned. Former president of Adana Demirspor, Metin Korkmaz, stated that the reason for the team's withdrawal was the penalty position. Korkmaz said, 'This is not a reaction against Galatasaray, but against the MHK.' Galatasaray Vice President Metin Öztürk made a statement after the abandoned match. Öztürk said, 'The team is withdrawing from the match due to a position in the 10th minute. If the team withdraws from the match after every unfair penalty, the league will end in the fourth week.'
