Fenerbahce hosted their Turkish rivals at the Sukru Saracoglu in the quarter-finals of the Turkish Cup. Fenerbahce, currently second in the Turkish league, have an intense rivalry with Galatasaray, the leaders and two-time defending champions.

Mourinho saw his team crash out after a 2-1 defeat to Buruk’s side.

Napoli loanee Victor Osimhen scored both of his team’s goals in the first half.

Fenerbahce hit back just before halftime through Sebastian Szymanski but couldn’t find an equaliser.

Tensions flared in the second half as the referee showed three red cards.

Fener’s Mert Hakan Yandas and Galatasaray duo Kerem Demirbay and Baris Alper Yilmaz were all sent off in the second minute of added time despite the fact none of the three were on the pitch during that time.

But it was Mourinho who stole the spotlight at full-time as he was clearly unhappy with something.

That was when he grabbed Buruk’s nose and left everyone in shock. The Turkish tactician was caught by surprise and fell to the ground in pain.

Mourinho was ushered down the tunnel by a member of his coaching staff while both sets of players rushed to the scene.

That was after a massive fracas ensued on 88 minutes between the two benches following Yilmaz’s substitution.

The two dugouts clashed and police had to intervene to impose order on the benches.

Yilmaz was seen shouting towards the opposition while members of the coaching team tried to drag him away.

The winger and teammate Demirbay as well as Yandas were then sent off from the referee in stoppage time.

The 62-year-old Mourinho, who arrived in Turkey last summer, was suspended for four matches and fined at the end of February for comments made after a league match against Galatasaray.

The former Chelsea, Real Madrid and Manchester United coach lambasted match officiating in Turkey.

He also said that the Galatasaray bench had been “jumping like monkeys” in reaction to a refereeing decision.

The comments earned him accusations of racism from Galatasaray, which he denied.
