Sanchez involved in mass brawl during Galatasaray's Champions League win

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 3 Nov, 22:45 · Archive

A mass brawl erupted during Galatasaray's 2-0 Champions League victory over Stuttgart on Tuesday night in Istanbul. The incident occurred in the 37th minute when Galatasaray's Baris Yilmaz knocked Stuttgart's Chris Fuhrich to the ground as he was attempting to shield the ball out near the touchline.

Former Brighton striker Deniz Undav then ran to confront Yilmaz in support of his Stuttgart team-mate Fuhrich. This escalation prompted other players and staff from both teams to get involved, including former Tottenham defender Davinson Sanchez, who had joined Galatasaray in summer 2023.

Premier League referee Chris Kavanagh brought the situation under control and issued yellow cards to Yilmaz and Undav. Fuhrich and Sanchez avoided sanctions. Aleksey Batrakov scored both Galatasaray goals in the opening 15 minutes, with the second created by a through-ball from Sanchez.
