In a heated moment during the Fenerbahce – Besiktas derby (3-3), Nigerian striker Emmanuel Emenike lost his temper. Believing he should have been awarded a penalty, Emenike headbutted Tomas Sivok, the captain of Besiktas. Although the referee only showed a yellow card to Emenike during the match, the Turkish Football League is expected to investigate the incident, and Emenike may face a substantial sanction. Despite this moment of controversy, Emenike had scored in the same game, as did Senegalese player Moussa Sow.
