"The officiating in our match against Corendon Alanyaspor will go down in history as a badge of shame for Turkish refereeing.
The head of the Central Refereeing Committee, still remembered for the scandalous decisions in last year's Ziraat Turkish Cup semi-final, and his protégé Adnan Deniz Kayatepe, have now added another disgraceful display to the list, effectively asking, "Where were we?"
An opposing player slapped Trossard in full view of the world. Referee Adnan Deniz Kayatepe did not see the incident. Bülent Birincioğlu on VAR stayed silent.
He broke clear of his opponent in a mutual challenge and scored. Simply because the opposing player theatrically threw himself to the ground, Adnan Deniz Kayatepe ruled out our goal.
Vlahovic was dragged down by the collar as he tried to enter the penalty area. Referee Kayatepe again ignored what had happened.
We no longer want to see malicious referees like Adnan Deniz Kayatepe and Bülent Birincioğlu in our matches.
We ask for neither advantages nor privileges. We only want fair and impartial officiating. We will continue our just struggle with determination until this unjust system changes.
Beşiktaş JK".
