Oct 27 (Reuters) - ⁠Fenerbahce condemned a brawl that ⁠broke out on the ‌pitch after their 2-1 derby defeat by Galatasaray in the Turkish Super Lig ​on Monday.

Players and ⁠staff from both ⁠teams rushed onto the field after ⁠a ‌scuffle between Fenerbahce's Kerem Akturkoglu and Galatasaray's ⁠Roland Sallai, according to video shared ​on ‌social media.

"The rivalry and tension ⁠of the ​derby do not give anyone the right to attack ⁠our players," Fenerbahce said in ​a statement.

"What happened cannot be dismissed as 'derby tension.' The behaviour ⁠of the opposing team's members, instead of reducing tension, fuelled the incidents."

Fenerbahce have called for ​an investigation and ⁠disciplinary action against those responsible for ​the brawl.
