Super Eagles star punches fan!
Chaos ensued at the Papara Park following Fenerbahçe's 3-2 win over Trabzonspor, with Bright Osayi-Samuel seen taking on a fan in rather distasteful scenes.
The Trabzonspor fans took to the pitch after the away team, Fenerbahçe, came from behind to grab all three points, thanks to a brace from Fred and a late goal from Michy Batshuayi.
Several Trabzonspor supporters invaded the pitch to confront the celebrating Fenerbahçe players, who were forced to defend themselves against an angry mob.
A brawl was sparked after a fan angrily approached the Fenerbahçe players who were celebrating in a huddle after their win. The lone Trabzonspor supporter entered the field to try and goad the men in yellow, before security tackled him. However, it did not prevent a scuffle with Osayi-Samuel.
The Nigerian international ran after the pitch invader and seemed to have landed a punch, with other footage surfacing of Osayi-Samuel landing a big blow on another fan.
Match-winner Batshuayi was also spotted trying to intercept a fan heading into the dugouts with a flying kick. After the initial invader was apprehended by security, a mob of supporters ran onto the pitch to try and get their hands on the winners of the night.
